A conversation about the emptiness immigrants feel after relocation and the impact it creates to their lives and community.
This is an event hosted jointly by the Mexican Consulate in Austin, Instituto de Mexicanas y Mexicanos en el Exterior (Institute of Mexicans Living Abroad), Latin Arts, Culture and Education (LACE) and A Better Force (ABF). We will be discussing the feelings of emptiness that immigrants often have to navigate after relocation and the reverberating effects it creates on their own lives and community. After the presentation, we will have a moderated discussion where we will also present strategies on how to manage these difficult emotions and become more civically engaged.
