Cambyo: Undocumented and Unafraid

Cambyo: Undocumented and Unafraid

My name is Dayanna. I am undocumented and unafraid.

Last May 1st was the first time I took ownership of my status; I came out of the shadows because I could no longer live in fear of the stigma associated with being undocumented. I am a member of One Michigan, a youth-led organization fighting for immigrant rights in the state and nationally. One Michigan is very motivated to work with undocumented youth in Southwest Detroit and other areas in Michigan. As a youth-led organization, it is upon us the youth to identify our community’s needs and how we are going to make a difference. We like to empower undocumented students to continue their education, come out of the shadows and organize.
