TILB: So what does Anwuli do for a living?
Anwuli: I work as a caterer in a restaurant and I am so thinking of delving into social work.
TILB: what informed your decision to live and work in the US?
Anwuli: I migrated to the U.S. because I had an accident in Nigeria on my right leg. So I came to the U.S. on medical visit only. After I had my surgery my mother changed her mind that we were going to stay in the U.S. because of the numerous opportunities the U.S. offered. That was in April 1999 so basically we have stayed in the U.S. for 15 years.
TILB: Wow !!! so sorry to hear about the accident. What was ur most challenging experience as a emigrant living in a foreign land
Anwuli: Thanks so much dear I appreciate. The most challenging experience for me living in a foreign land was the cultural change, I was a novice in the U.S. so coming here at an early age was difficult.
TILB: Can you please tell us about a certain remarkable scenario or occurrence when the challenging cultural deference was highlighted
