9.5 years navigating a system not built for immigrants.
Years of fear, silence, and fighting back against racism meant to break me.
I learned the law to survive it. I refused to give up when doors slammed in my face.
Today, I’m a naturalized citizen, not because it was easy, but because courage, resistance, and stubborn hope change everything.
To my person and my chosen family: thank you for standing up, speaking out, and carrying me when I couldn’t stand alone ❤️
To every immigrant still fighting: you belong. Your struggle is power. 🇺🇸✊🏽
