This website promotes an understanding of the difficulties migrants, immigrants, and refugees face.

It is the goal to contribute a token of peace and understanding to the environment of bias and fear we often find ourselves in by providing a platform to tell a variety of individuals’ stories from many different countries.

Together we must generate discussion and celebrate the diversities and multiplicities that make up our world.

Migrating Stories” is an Online Oral History Project that needs your help!

“Migrating Stories” is a topic to be shared by many people with many voices. If you have a personal story, know of a friend or family member who would be willing to share their experience, or just have an interest in journalism or communications and want to get involved, please send an email to migratingstories@gmail.com

In particular, “Migrating Stories” will focus on the variety of reasons and conditions influencing people to leave their home country, their experience of assimilation, difficulties of intersectionality, the complexity of migrant identity, and what personal choices they have made about preserving their own culture.

Only together can we foster an environment of inclusiveness and empathy.

Thank you for your interest and support!
