Heavy Topics With Lightweights

Being A DACA Recipient w/ Nicole Solissison


Listen Later

Immigration. It's a hot topic these days.

No matter what your political opinion is on the matter, here's our question: have you actually talked to someone who immigrated to America? 

Do you know their story? 

Today we talk to creative director extraordinaire Nicole Solissison. Her family fled the Philippines 20 years ago and are still having a hard time finding a pathway to citizenship. Every immigration story is different. With Nicole we talk about how an ICE agent helped her family, what it's like being a DACA recipient and how the overall system is just a cluster fuck of insanity. 

The only way the country will be able to find solutions to our immigration problem is to talk to people who know what's wrong with the system. We hope this episode starts a dialogue.
