Immigrant Youth In Cincinnati Illustrate Their Lives
Maketank’s Illustrated Memoir Project in Cincinnati public schools “engages refugee and immigrant youth to write and illustrate true stories from their lives.”
The goal “is to foment intellectual self-trust in the participants, center their lived experience, enhance social emotional learning, and increase literacies. Through sharing these stories we strive to foster a richer understanding of the experience of refugee and immigrant youth and build a more welcoming global community,” according to the project’s website.
