RIP: Brazilian-Born Journalist Miryam Wiley

In her writings, a champion of the people.

MiryamWileyLinkedInPer a wonderful obituary in the Boston Globe by Kathleen McKenna, it started with a bang in the U.S. for Miryam Wiley, a Brazilian native who passed away last month at age 60 from ovarian cancer:

Immigrant issues were especially important to Mrs. Wiley, who first visited the United States as a high school exchange student in Indiana in 1972, and then returned in 1982 for a month-long conference for international journalists. She met Bruce Wiley the night she arrived in Denver for the conference, he said, after the airline lost her luggage, leaving her with only a bag of shoes.
