The Forgotten Scraps of My American Dream

Through the intimate vignette of family life, The Forgotten Scraps of My American Dream considers the generational struggles and sacrifices immigrant families make to fulfill false promises.

Name: Mahia Rahman

Age: 17

Pronouns: She/Her

A little about me:  I am from Arlington, VA. My family is from Bangladesh and my parents are immigrants. My family is also considered low-income. I am a Muslim hijabi woman trying to navigate life as both Bengali and American. Currently, I am a college student. I like to spend my time with my family and working on mini projects.
