Migrant stories are human stories.
What is migration tales?
Increasing polarization on migration is a pressing issue of our globalized world;
however, real migrant experience lacks media representation.
Migration Tales leverages the power of storytelling in hopes to debunk migration myths and celebrate diversity, inclusivity, and empathy.
Why are we doing this?
Solutions start with understanding.
In a climate that can often feel isolating, we hope to cultivate an understanding of migration as a shared human experience.

“[Our] lives would have been very different if we had not been accepted and sponsored by such a caring and loving family,” Mai says.
“My parents went through a lot to be able to get to America. If it wasn’t for their experiences, I wouldn’t have such a strong work ethic or determination that I have now today.”
“We solely come in hopes for a better life with humble intentions and open hearts ready to embrace American culture, while celebrating our own.”
