Fredrick Shema grew up in a refugee camp in Uganda before resettling in Boise with his family in 2012 as a high school student. In college, he was able to go back to the camp where he grew up for a research project, reconnecting with friends still living there.
Through this experience and working with Boise youth from refugee backgrounds, Fredrick set his sights on becoming an attorney – wanting to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. After earning his law degree this spring, Fredrick sat down with Mosaics to share about his life, what he’s learned, and how he found his ‘why.’
