What we're hearing.
Session A
I’m so stuck in my daily routine that's it's hard to think about the bigger picture.
- I don’t speak up because people don’t listen to someone like me.
- My past doesn’t define me, but it definitely shapes my opportunities.
- Pursuing higher education is a catch 22. It may not pay off and creates more burden.
Session B
- Every problem goes back to being an immigrant.
- I hustle, and find resourceful ways to make money and support my family.
- Because of my status, I feel invisible.
“The violence has gone up. There have been 3 shootings since I moved in. One person has died.”
