MILK & HONEY CREW Q&A

What does the American Dream mean to you? I have a complicated view of the American Dream. It's the belief that anyone can succeed through hard work, yet the "dream" often masks the sacrifices and systemic barriers people face in pursuit of it. My parents came here seeking a better life, but that came at the cost of leaving behind their community and homeland. I often wonder what it would have been like if they—and so many others—didn’t have to leave their homes. Still, I’m deeply grateful for the life I have, shaped by their sacrifices and the sacrifices of countless immigrants who’ve helped build this country.
