“My Painful Journey”
Jade Amoli Jackson fled Uganda seven years ago, after her husband was murdered and her children abducted by the military. Encouraged to write by the Medical Foundation’s “Write to Life” programme, she chronicled her experience in “My Painful Journey”. The story won a writing competition run by Decibel, and is included in as one of 16 true stories published in the 2007 Penguin Decibel anthology entitled, From There to Here, Volume 2: Personal Tales of Immigration to Britain. STAR went to talk to her about her writing and experiences.
