Created for the inaugural Maine Empower The Immigrant Woman Conference this short film offers innovative perspective on the modern day Maine Immigrant story. Six Maine immigrant women share their unique journeys and offer insight into how they persevered to overcome barriers to start businesses and organizations, further their education, and give back to their local Maine communities. Their words of wisdom reach across cultures, race and class to resonate with any individual desiring to feel empowered.
