Through storytelling we are using social media responsibly to eliminate judgements that taint our perception about human beings whose cultures may differ from our own. Our collaboration will build a bridge that
highlight different stories of migrants and refugees.
#IAMHUMAN
We are representing every human, and their
fundamental right to live wholly, while expressing themselves without being silenced. More than 65 million people are now officially displaced from their homes which is the highest figure recorded by the US since the Second World War.
No chain, nor border can prohibit refugee and migrant voices
from being heard because we will actively use our platform and privilege to foster a change in humanity.

I volunteer at S4E and directly see the impact it has on refugee girls and women. I gave a presentation about S4E and raised enough funds for our secondary school to have access to internet for a year. I do what I can to
bring about the change I dream of seeing #IAMHUMAN
