An Urban Refuge Initiative

Refugees and immigrants are more than just those titles - you are artists, doctors, parents, siblings, change agents and role models with dreams and accomplishments.

But too often, we see "refugee" and "immigrant" used with negative connotations.

Through this project, we hope to amplify refugee & immigrant voices to challenge societal thoughts and stereotypes surrounding migrant status.

“Refugees and immigrants are not burdens. Refugees flee from their homes in search of safety. Refugees just want to belong, build a future and contribute to the society. Be informed and support refugees and immigrants in settling in because their success is for the benefit of many people. Be a good ally.”-Gerard

“We have names, identities, goals and aspirations that surpass the word ‘refugee’ or ‘immigrant.’ We refuse to be limited by these words because just like everyone else, we dream, we aspire and we work hard.”
