About the Event
We often hear immigration stories from the Asian American community since many of us are first or second generation immigrants, however there are currently 2.2 million African immigrants in the US with stories to share.Â
We invite Chidera Orazulike and her sister Urenna, both Nigerian immigrants to share their stories of coming to the US.Â

About Let's Talk: Asian x Black Conversations
Let’s Talk is an Asian x Black dialogue series with the goal of opening conversations between the Black and Asian communities. It’s through understanding each other’s struggles that we can come out stronger together. The goal of this series is not to talk about how Asians can support Black Lives Matter or how to fight against Anti-Asian sentiments but more so an exploration and conversation between two groups of people who have different, yet similar experiences.
