Yesterday, we had an amazing time sharing our immigration stories at Vernon Area Public Library. I shared a couple of my stories, but we also heard Juliet story of escaping trans persecution in El Salvador, we learn about Fara’s search for her artist’s voice, Basir told us about losing everything after the Taliban took over Afghanistan, Raj delighted us recounting how complicated is to order coffee in a new country, Lani told us about having to channel her mother’s strength to face immigration officials.? After the show we got to meet and share a meal, ideas, dreams and plan with members of Green Card Voices . It is such a blessing to be able to provide a platform to the stories of immigrants, refugees, their descendants and allies. If you want us to bring our show to your library, college or school feel free to contact me at https://lnkd.in/gfemKb8A
