A Hundred and Fifty Pounds by Michael Prior

January 26, 2022  /  Will Sengotta

Read A Hundred and Fifty Pounds

While a New Year allows us to celebrate new beginning and the opportunity to carve out a new life, every new beginning is not as filled with hope. "A Hundred and Fifty Pounds", explores the internment of Canadians of Japanese descent during WWII and how they had to create their new life with only 150 pounds from their past.
If you were forced to start over with only 150 pounds from your past, what would you prioritize? What would you bring?
