On the latest episode of WKTV Journal’s In Focus series of podcasts, we discuss the the challenges and contributions made by New Americans, immigrants to West Michigan, the state and all across the country.
Visiting our studios, each with unique perspectives on the subject, are Kentwood City Commissioner and community advocate Emily Bridson; Bing Goei, a successful business person and the former Director of the Michigan Office for New Americans under then Governor Rick Snyder; and Milinda Ysasi, co-founder of the Latina Network of West Michigan and current executive director of The Source, a not-for-profit employee support organization.
