Guest: Trisha Leimer, President, Their Story is Our Story Trisha Leimer is an American woman living in Germany, the European country that has received the largest number of refugees. As she began to meet and work with some of these individuals, she got involved in a nonprofit collaboration called “Their Story is Our Story.” Its mission is to help individual refugees share their stories through pictures, art and interviews distributed online and various social media sites. Leimer is now the group’s president and she stopped by our studio during a recent visit to the US. We asked her why letting refugees tell their own stories is important.
