S02E12 Breaking Stereotypes on Immigration in the US with Mellie Napolitano Young Changemakers Podcast

Can you imagine having to escape a place that has always been home, forced out because of danger or lack of opportunity? Can you imagine traveling thousands of miles by foot or car to reach the American Dream of safety, democracy and opportunity, not knowing whether you will get there alive? Can you imagine after risking it all for a better life, having no intention of harming anybody, that you are met with hostility, racism and xenophobia because of stereotypes perpetuated in the media? In this episode with guest, Mellie Napolitano, we break down major stereotypes and discuss the realities of immigration. We also discuss her amazing book called ‘Hola Miss’.
