But here’s the thing - do you realize you are taking the dreams of your immigrant parents and community, and turning them into real-world impact? Even though there’s limited support, guidance or resources to contribute to second-gen impact, you’re still doing it.
Embracing your diasporic identity as a second-generation doesn’t have to be a struggle—it’s a superpower.
You have the ability to move between worlds, build connections, and see things from multiple perspectives. These are strengths, not obstacles.
