Identity: Stories from the Children of Immigrants
Thursday, April 22 @ 7:00 PM
Regardless of their family’s country of origin, many first-generation Americans live through common experiences: being asked “where are you really from?” when meeting someone new; not knowing which option to bubble when asked for race/ethnicity on standardized tests; being teased at school for the packed lunches you brought from home. Navigating a multicultural identity can be complicated because children have to reconcile two worlds: the culture we’re taught at home, and the culture we learn outside of our households. Searching for a sense of belonging within different communities while developing a strong sense of identity can feel like being pulled in opposite directions, but leads to a uniquely rewarding perspective for children of immigrants.
