As part of the PBS American Portrait Series, WNED PBS is taking some of the stories from our Making Buffalo Home project and both preparing them for a national audience while featuring them on WBFO. You can hear the segments every Monday morning for the next several weeks.
When she was only two, Beh Meh and her family fled the wars in Myanmar to a refugee camp. After nine years there, her family was accepted by the USA. Knowing no English, she was welcomed warmly by a middle school teacher in Buffalo, NY. As a direct result of that kindness, she is now attending college working towards earning her own teaching degree.
