Interview Summary

Samah Sadouki describes growing up in Algeria, attending university for a degree in Arabic literature, being introduced to her future husband by her sister, then marrying him and coming to Indianapolis in 2012, moving to Lexington in 2014. She has a daughter who is two, and is completing child development education certification and working with one-year-olds in daycare. She cooks food as she would in Algeria, and talks to her family via Skype everyday. She tells people she is from Africa and Algeria, though Americans think of Africans as only Black. She has made friends through the mosque and through the International Women's Group at the local church.
