Tatenda Ngwaru arrived in New York in August of 2016 with $60 in her purse. Ngwaru, an intersex woman, had fled her home country of Zimbabwe to seek asylum and a safer life in America. She now lives in Boston and visited our studio to share her story with The World’s Carol Hills.
The story you just read is available for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom.

But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
