Mothers and Daughters: Voices of Resilient Immigrant Women Across Generations (presented in partnership with New Jersey Folklife at Perkins)

Growing up as a child of immigrants shapes one’s life in many ways: connecting with new friends who become family, seeking work and educational opportunities, and sometimes acting as a parent’s voice and bridge across cultures. This intergenerational panel brings together immigrant mothers and daughters from our local communities to  share their powerful stories of migration and resilience, while reflecting on how they maintain traditional cultural heritage. This program offers a rare, intimate look at how women across the generations shape and sustain community life in New Jersey. Through personal narrative and storytelling, the event invites audiences to reflect on the enduring legacies of immigration in our State.
