Inspired by Saint Josephine Bakhita's journey from slavery to freedom, Bakhita Today offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of low-income migrants in the United States working in lower-cadre healthcare jobs. Conceived on the feast day of Saint Bakhita, this anthology provides a raw and honest exploration of their experiences, echoing the spirit of ""Maid"" and ""Nickel and Dimed."" Through intimate firsthand accounts, Bakhita Today weaves a tapestry of challenges, hopes, and struggles, revealing the resilience of the human spirit. These stories shed light on the systemic inequalities faced by vulnerable populations, including cultural shock, language barriers, family separation, and the struggle to balance work and life amidst physical exhaustion, emotional burnout, and racism. Despite these hardships, the anthology demonstrates the migrants' steadfast determination, their sacrifices to support their families, and the crucial role of community and faith in overcoming adversity. Bakhita Today is a testament to the indomitable spirit of migrants and their enduring belief in a brighter future.
