I belong here. I get the freedom to walk down the street and own my own narrative.
Sana is a tech innovation designer, a New Yorker, and a Pakistani Muslim woman who immigrated to the United States from Saudi Arabia when she was 14-years-old. Her family experienced deportation proceedings first-hand when her brother was racially profiled because of his skin color and name (his case was later dropped after he was granted DACA just like her). For Sana, DACA has improved her mental and emotional health, allowed her to speak up for others, and even take care of her family, from paying for her siblings’ college tuition to soon purchasing a home that’s accessible to her father-in-law who is paraplegic.
