This ongoing collection brings together short video excerpts from interviews with young people in New York, Berlin, and other cities, reflecting on belonging, migration, family, discrimination, and everyday life.
Young people and immigrants are often spoken about in debates on migration, but rarely centered as experts and interpreters of their own lives. Their reflections show how policies, histories, and social norms are lived in everyday moments. The collection is intentionally transnational — not to flatten differences, but to surface shared questions across borders.
Explore the stories by theme, through curriculum pathways, through curated collections, by storyteller, or by browsing the full archive.

At this point I am a hybrid. I am influenced by all types of things. You can't call me one thing. So I switch. Clothing, I switch speaking, I switch everything. The only thing that keeps me sane is my character. It doesn't matter if I am speaking slang, I am still nice. If I speak proper English or try to speak proper English, I am still nice. That taught me a lot about culture, race, and identity, and they are all different. Thank god for identity.
