“It is exciting to see a program in which our mentees can be advocates; we have been discussing the toll all the anti-immigrant sentiment has taken upon them. Therefore, it would be great to help them take back control of the narrative, and allow them to be creative-- especially for our 18—24 year olds, who are not always able to access creative spaces.“
