Bring Humanity to a Statistic: Marianna Bonilla, Co-Founder, Leader of Voices of Migrants, intersects art and charity to uplift immigrant and refugees voices

"How can I help migrants and refugees around the world? How do I raise money and awareness for a new cause? How can I get people to believe in my cause?" Marianna Bonilla works hard to spotlight some of the most vulnerable of society: migrants and refugees. Her own story of migrating from Colombia to the United States has led her to co-found Voices of Migrants (also previously mentioned in episode #2 with Carolina Zubler). From letter-writing events to clothing drives, Voices of Migrants has a bright future full of positive change. Her unparalleled ambition is going to make her an incredible freshman student at the College of William and Mary this fall.
