About
This ongoing collection brings together short video excerpts from interviews with young people in New York, Berlin, and other cities, reflecting on belonging, migration, family, discrimination, and everyday life.
Young people and immigrants are often spoken about in debates on migration, but rarely centered as experts and interpreters of their own lives. The collection is intentionally transnational to surface shared questions across borders.
Explore the stories by storyteller, theme, through curriculum pathways, through curated collections, or by browsing the full archive.
My dad...is proud of being American and he is proud of being Haitian; he would hang the flags side by side. So when it came to language...I would speak to him in English after a while because he wanted me to do well in school... That was it then. We got to speak English, even though he is so proud [of his Haitian roots] because he cares about me and wants me to do well.
Use the archive to explore all stories at your own pace. You can filter by topic, city, search by keyword, or browse page by page to discover stories across places and experiences. Each story is a short video excerpt drawn from in-depth interviews. Together, they offer insight into how migration, identity, and belonging are lived in everyday life.
Behind every video is a person navigating belonging, identity, and diaspora. Meet the people who make this archive possible.
