Gédéon allowed us to include his poem in our book for which we are deeply grateful.

Bengekya Mugay Gédéon reminds us that behind the label "refugee" is a person with a name, a story, a past, and dreams for the future. His words are a call to look beyond the headlines and see the human beings. Ultimately, he sheds light on what we must not forget - on #WRD and every day.
Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia, Transphobia and A-Phobia* #IDAHOBITA*
Everday should be #IDAHOBITA*
Today is #WorldRefugeeDay. Indeed, everyday is #WorldRefugeeDay.
What does it mean to be a #refugee? To better understand, I would like to share the powerful poem "Just Because I’m a Refugee" by Bengekya Mugay Gédéon, a public health specialist and poet in Uganda.
A while back, I noticed that data on refugee camps had gradually fallen out of UNHCR's influential annual report, Global Trends.
This very useful 2022 article by @ulrikekrause.bsky.social helps explain what's going on there.
