Neighborhood Narratives - Yeaniva Eden Seisay: My Immigration Story
“My parents coming from Sierra Leone in the 90’s shaped my perspective as a first generation American”.
Yeaniva grew up low income, black, female and African, adding layers to the stereotypes and racism out there.
She felt weird growing up and it took it’s toll on her self-esteem until college where she met more people like herself.
Now she is looking to inspire awareness and openness and for people to be more accepting to folks different from you.
