Asian Americans

Priscila Ramirez recently joined her daughter, Elen Callahan, at StoryCorps to share what it was like coming to an unfamiliar country with her husband and only $120 between them to see if they, too, could experience “The American Dream.”

Christine Currie and Jacelyn Arradaza met while working at the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs. In 2024, they sat down with StoryCorps to share some personal experiences that inspired them to bring a greater understanding of Asian history and culture into our nation’s schools.
