Mimi Callan My popo

My popo (‘grandma’ in Chinese) migrated from Malaysia to Australia 40 years ago so her children could have a better education. Although she was very rich in Malaysia, she was very poor in Australia and struggled a lot. She gave up her career as a lawyer and had to be a housewife with four kids. Life in Australia was hard, and she faced a lot of racism. As a result, she got chronic depression. She is sometimes sad, but she is also very strong. She’s very wise and resilient, and I look up to her.
