American Dreamers Write: Reclaiming Our Stories is a community writing project centered around sharing stories as a uniquely powerful way to raise our voices, take action, and promote understanding about the experiences of Dreamers, immigrants, and children of immigrants. Project includes: writing workshops for teens at Margarita Muñiz Academy, a reading and final performance, a visit to GrubStreet Creative Writing Center, and De Leon’s work on her own YA novel about a 16-year-old Dreamer in Boston.
