Kiden JonathanKIDEN JONATHAN spent the first part of her life in Juba, Sudan (now the capital of South Sudan). Forced to flee due to the country's twenty-two-year civil war between the central government in Khartoum and the South Sudanese People's Liberation Army SPLA), she was a refugee for seven years before finally arriving in Canada with her family. Once settled in her newly adopted nation, she became actively involved in the South Sudanese community as a leader, speaker, and writer, contributing several stories to the Shoe Project, a non profit organization that inspires and enables immigrant and refugee wo-men to share the stories of their journeys to Canada using shoes as a metaphor.
