My book, out of nowhere is about a person named Saeed and tom they both play soccer at their high school. They go through a lot of different experiences by being from different places. Saeed is from Somalia and Tom is from America.

And I just couldn't accept that''(0:59 Bhojwani)The ted talk immigrant voices make democracy stronger talks about how immigrant voices are heard in immigrant countries and if they were heard it would change the immigrant country to make it better.
My book, Out of Nowhere and the ted talk, immigrant voices make democracy stronger have a connection because they both talk about how our society talks about if you're not the right color, don't support the same religion, life will be more difficult for you. “Many sudanese girls wear hijab. But you do not write “sudanese slut”(Padian 300) And how we should take the immigrants advice and make immigrant countries.
