About Kooch Community
Kooch was founded by Nazanin Mirsharifi, an immigrant who has lived in multiple countries and experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating the immigration process. Hence Kooch born, started with a podcast talking about challenges of immigrants in Canada and later other countries around the world and then merged to events to tackle the loneliness and help immigrants to make a connection and feel like home in the new country and integrate.
