Migration Stories and Colorism
1. Most of us have a migration story. What is your migration story? What types of migration trauma did your family experience? Were they fleeing oppression? Once they arrived where did they settle? Were they in an enclave of people from their country of origin or were they isolated? What did they experience in terms of exclusion?
2. Describe your experience with colorism. How does intersectionality factor in?
