The Diasporic Experience
As a first-generation immigrant, I felt estranged from my culture back home. Yet my family helped ground me. Whenever I’d see my cousins or my Lolo’s and Lola’s, we’d always end up with a karaoke mic in our hands.
This project became my love letter to those intimate moments.

There is a stigma around immigrant culture, being viewed as weird, different, or out of place. We were taught to be ashamed of being an outside group. However, culture is something to be proud of, something we should show off.
