What no one talks about being an immigrant kid

Hey peeps, it’s Jenny — and I’m here to talk about the universal baggage of immigrant children and how themes like burden, guilt, privilege, and sacrifice tend to follow us into adulthood.

There’s so much to the immigrant kid experience that remains unspoken and in this video, I shine more light into my own story to help normalize emotions and thoughts we might share as first-generation immigrant children.

So grab your drink of choice, get cozy, and enjoy this chat (or rant lol) ☕️
