Growing up, 1.5 gen children acted as the bridge between their immigrant parents and their new home. Asia Moua did this often as a child, but as life went on, it got more complicated — and so did translating for her parents.

SEAD gathered stories from 1.5 and their descendants on themes of love, labor, and boundaries. Read more about the generation that's in-between, toeing the line of too-American and not American enough, while forging their own, unprecedented path.

As a Northsider it’s so maddening to have to search high and low for news about my neighborhood. And yet one shooting in Uptown and it’s plastered everywhere.

Even during tough times our programs need to function. We wrapped up SEA Roots program. We're fortunate that our students adapted to the pandemic by switching to online classes.
Keep our language programs alive.

Let's all do our part to keep our communities healthy! Physical distancing (while still being digitally social) and staying home are critical to stop the spread of coronavirus. Share these key messages with your Burmese, Hmong, Karen, Khmer, Lao, and Viet communities. #StayHome
