Resilience Stories
The immigrant community is suffering traumatic events such as; family breakups, discrimination, and social injustice which affects their wellbeing and mental health.
The main goal of this fanzine is to foster community building and help immigrants overcome social injustices and discrimination.
The Resilience Stories Fanzine is a response to the challenges that affect all of us during these times. We may have very different experiences from one another, but we are all touched in some way by the increased activism, exposure, and images of racial injustice and associated violence.
*The names on the stories are changed to avoid any recognition of the participant that shared their resilience stories.
