Houston has historically welcomed immigrants seeking jobs that made the city’s growth possible. Some came to Houston on their own, while others came with their spouse or parents. All of them arrived with hopes for a better life and contributed to making Houston a thriving and empathetic community made up of many cultural identities. Thus, it is no wonder Houston has earned the designation as a place “where the local is global.”

Our panelists, include

· Dr. Melody Li, UH associate professor of Chines, and director of Mapping Houston’s Old Chinatown project;

· Ana Eigler, a Latinx Sephardic Jewish woman and social worker;

· Veronica Fahys, a Slovenian Argentinian American immigration attorney.
