A weekly podcast hosted by Tom Becka featuring everyday people with an interesting story to tell.

On this episode: Pam Font-Gabel, executive director of Refugee Women Rising, explains how her Omaha-based non-profit is helping hundreds of refugee women to get settled and thrive in America.

"We think this is a beautiful time to bring neighbors together from across different backgrounds and celebrate what unites us and also what makes us unique," Mustafa said.

On top of live music, arts and crafts, and immigrants who shared their stories on stage, other local organizations that work to support immigrants and refugees set up booths.

One was Refugee Women Rising, which showed traditions some might not be familiar with, and spoke with attendees about their needs as an organization. For one, volunteers help with the transportation needs of refugees.

"A lot of women, if they don't have their license and don't have a car, they are incredibly isolated," said Pam Font-Gabel. "That's really going to affect them, their wellness."

Each year Nebraska welcomes hundreds of refugees into the community and many organizations are by their side as they settle into a new country. The latest support comes from AAA awarding funding to help immigrant women learn how to drive through Refugee Women Rising's program.
