Welcome to America!

About Welcome to America!

We’ve all got that story. Whether we admit it or not, we’ve all got that one relative, no matter how distant, that came from a land other than the land of the United States. “Welcome to America!” focuses on that story. Hi, my name is Ashley and I’m a sister of Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Incorporated. Follow along with me as we listen to the incredible stories, right from the mouths of children of immigrants, as they tell of how and why their parents came to America. The struggles, the dreams, the strife. You’ll be here for it all in… “Welcome to America!”
