It’s here, Friend! Volume 2 of our Zine all about immigrant self-love and pride is READY TO READ. 🤩 And I’m even more excited to share that I’m one of the writers featured in it!
You may know me as Ayling, Culture Change Coordinator here at UWD, but let me tell you more about myself, the poems I wrote, and how YOU can get your very own copy of ‘Immigrant Made’ Vol. 2:
I’m a first-gen Chicana-Dominicana poet, mixed media artist, and youth arts educator. I create poetry and community art from a place of radical love. In the Zine, I wrote 3 poems about what a world without borders would look like, how special us immigrants are by very nature of being immigrants, and how powerful our stories and ancestral wisdom are. 💗
⭐️ READ MY POEMS ⭐️
To be able to write and share these poems with you mean the world to me, Friend. 🥺 It shows that us immigrants know what’s best for us, by honoring what came before us and drawing inspiration from our ancestors in the fight for justice.
With that, I hope you’ll take a moment right now to read my poems and browse through our zine. 💗 Through our art and writing, we want to remind our communities that our stories matter and that our culture is power!
With love,
Ayling and the team at UWD
