The story shared by Carmen highlights the impact of immigration status on children and the fear of deportation experienced by families.

If you are listening to this and a part of today’s story feels familiar, I want you to know that this space is open to you. 

I’m inviting first generation Americans and immigrants to share your stories on your own terms.

A moment you still carry. A choice. A realization. A memory that shaped you. You can remain anonymous. You can change names and details. Your story will be narrated with care, not exposed.

You can submit your written story by emailing [email protected] or you can request a zoom interview to share your story.
