You never know when life is going to surprise you and that was the case of Ms. Juskowski, a Miami-based artist and a founder of the Miami Girls Foundation.
She was producing and filming a a video at a Miami beach when suddenly a boat approached to the shore and around 8 people began to disembark and run until all of them finally disappear.
"Ms. Juskowski, who migrated from Russia at age 18 as a university student - had a more compassionate take," the New Times Palm Beach newspaper wrote after an interview with her. "Witnessing people starting their life anew by jumping off the boat and running into the city made my personal struggle seem rather small. As controversial as the problem of illegal immigration can be for many of us, it is important to remember that people come here in search of the better life, and it comes at a very high price of great courage, hard work, and loneliness. I got to know America as a country with a big heart. While I trust it to the U.S. government to work out the policies on improving the immigration laws, it feels natural to stay compassionate and understanding on a personal level."
