Overview
Talia will work with Asian and Black youth in South Philadelphia to learn about and tell stories of family migrations to Philadelphia. She will talk with family members and work in mixed-race groups to write a story of migration with accompanying photos. The collectively created migration stories will be exhibited at two community events. Talia hopes that this project will build a stronger sense of Black-Asian solidarity among young people in Philadelphia and counter the narrative of antagonism between Asian and Black communities.
