Today on the Miraya Breakfast show we spoke to Nyajuok Dolouny, author of the book, "I Am My Mother's Widest Dream" which talks about Dolouny's  journey of breaking cultural norms to live the "American Dream".  Like so many South Sudanese, Nyajuok  grew up between two refugee camps and after her family was resettled to the United States of America, Nyajuok found herself in another war when her family forced her into an arranged marriage at 14-years- of age.  Listen to the full interview with Irene Lasu here.
