At a time when immigration remains at the center of national debate — and with the escalation of ICE activity in Los Angeles sparking renewed fear and advocacy — this panel could not be more urgent. This timely conversation brings together influential voices who are using storytelling to humanize the immigration experience and mobilize public response.

• How authentic immigrant representation influences public perception and policy
• Responsibilities and risks of telling stories rooted in lived experience
• Creative collaboration between artists, educators, and advocates
• Moving audiences from awareness to action — especially in moments of real-time crisis

This thought-provoking session will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how narrative can shift systems — a must-attend for content creators, educators, and impact leaders.
