'One Journey' Aims to Shift Narrative About Refugees - One Heart at a Time

   WASHINGTON - In the midst of a historic global refugee crisis, with
   nearly 69 million people forcibly displaced worldwide, Wendy Chan
   wanted to tell the human stories behind the mass exodus.

   Chan, who came to the United States as a child with her family from
   China, notes, "Many organizations are trying to tell the refugee
   stories through numbers, but not a lot of them are reaching hearts and
   minds using a really positive and celebratory tone." As the number of
   refugees allowed into the United States is reduced by the Trump
   Administration, Chan co-founded One Journey, because "I think it's
   really important for us to showcase the incredible story of resilience
   and hope that refugees exhibited."

   "One Journey is to help shift the narrative about refugees and to
   showcase refugees' contribution and talents to our society," says Chan,
   "One Journey is really meant to connect people to the refugee crisis."
