In community, we realize we’re not powerless.
These are the exact words Cristina Jimenez, UWD co-founder, wrote in her memoir, Dreaming of Home! In her book, she honors immigrants: our stories, our resilience, and our ability to turn fear into power.
🥁🥁🥁 And, now, you have a chance to hear from her at “Our Stories, Our Power: Using Our Voices to Inspire Change” special event on Monday, June 22, at 7 pm ET!
We have an exciting lineup prepared for you as we celebrate the power our stories hold! Celebrate Pride and Immigrant Heritage Month with our community, and hear directly from people who’ve transformed experiences of fear and uncertainty into power.
