Immigration Mic

On the @immigrationmicpodcast @hannita.art a digital artist based in NY, who strives to provide beauty through arts and educate around DACA and immigration joins the podcast! From Guadalajara, Jalisco Hanna’s artistic influence came through her father who owned two prestigious art stores but due to the economic crisis they immigrated to San Jose California. Hanna’s family became a mixed status family, with her parents receiving residency, but due to complex immigration laws, neither she or her brother received the same relief. Theater, animation, and paintings - Hannah has always used the arts as a form of therapy, she goes in-depth into how arts to her is a form of escapism for her. She talks about the challenges she faced before DACA, and talks about her positive spin on fear to motivate her in life (she also tells us the story of how she found out she was undocumented, and how one of her closest friends distanced herself as a result) Seattle, Portland, Montana, LA and moving to NY, rock climbing, skydiving
