Traveling across the country sharing Dreaming of Home has brought me home to the people, the organizers and courageous leaders, who have been part of building this movement.

The administration says they will “flood the zone” in NYC with ICE to target working-class communities of color. But New Yorkers are coming together to say: hands off NYC! We will defend our neighbors and the New York we all love.

I'm proud that Dreaming of Home was named one of three finalists for the New American Voices Award. It was an honor to share the stage with powerful immigrant women writers Shubha Sunder and Olufunke Grace Bankole.

Don't Look Away!

Another attack on our immigrant communities. We will not be silent! We will resist, organize, and demand dignity.

“There’s disappointment because there was a dream that became lost or broken.”

Excited to join this year's Raizado Festival in Aspen, CO!

Tomorrow, another mother will hold her child tighter—because it might be the last time. Another parent will bury pieces of their heart beneath rubble. As a mother and a human, I cannot look away. These are all of our children. Their grief is our grief. Their future is our responsibility.

I’m going Live with my friend and brilliant movement leader Edgar to talk about my book Dreaming of Home — a story about belonging, resilience, and the fight for immigrant justice.

It’s my birthday! 🥳 If you want to celebrate with me, here’s what I’d love: Buy a copy of Dreaming of Home—or gift one to someone who needs it. Leave a review if the book moved you on Barnes & Noble, Goodreads and Amazon. Your support helps this story reach more hearts. 💛

Salt Lake City, you showed up with so much love 💛

Sharing Dreaming of Home at this powerful event at the Ford Foundation was such an honor.

Yesterday, in a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court limited the power of federal courts to protect us from unlawful policies.

Utah, I can’t wait to be in community with you! So grateful for the overwhelming support for the Dreaming of Home book tour stop in Salt Lake City. This event is officially at capacity — and we’re ready for a powerful evening of storytelling, connection, and action.

Zohran Mamdani, an immigrant New Yorker, won the Democratic Primary for Mayor of New York City. Mamdani ran on a vision of a city that is affordable for working class people and where all New Yorkers belong. Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Migration is a love story. But today’s current immigration conversation rarely centers on love. In Dreaming of Home, I write about how love is at the heart of migration–and how it fuels our fight for justice. bit.ly/3G1CT6e

What happened in South Nashville this weekend was cruel, inhumane, and unacceptable.

Kilmar Ábrego García, a father from Maryland—his home—was deported and is now imprisoned in El Salvador under terrifying conditions. He has children here. A wife. A community. Now, his family is pleading for his safe return. 🧵
