FREE TO ATTEND!
Join us for an evening of drinks & dialogue:
You know what it’s like to grow up with multiple languages in the house, eat different food than your American friends, celebrate certain holidays and traditions that are –literally– foreign to your peers, and have to break down your name syllable by syllable.
For First Generation Americans, the art of balancing two cultures is a unique, yet fundamentally similar experience, and it shapes us in a very significant way.
First Generation American was launched to connect FGA’s and collect our stories. FGA’s can truly relate to each other through our experiences, and we are on a mission to document these stories. After all, they are an important part of American history.
So grab a beverage and have a story ready to share.
