I thought I fled authoritarianism, propaganda, and brainwashing;
I thought I landed in a place that protects religious freedom and individual rights;
I thought I gave my children, especially my daughter a more equal and brighter future so she doesn't need to grow up to be unfairly judged based on her gender and skin color;
and I thought she could soar in a land of opportunities and maybe one day she could achieve what most women before her couldn't.
With now one of the women's fundamental rights being taken down, I don't know what more would be taken away.
From her and from my son, non-white, non-Christian, sexual orientation is not yet defined.
And the dream of my children having better opportunities and environment?
Will it turn into merely a daydream eventually?
