All-American Story shares personal stories, artwork, radio plays, and music created with and by American immigrants and first- and second-gen Americans.

We are dedicated to honoring the lives, struggles and successes, joys and sorrows of our vibrant multicultural immigrant community. As artists, immigrants, 1st- and 2nd-gen Americans and storytellers, we are moved by the challenges that are facing immigrants in the United States, and our goal is to open hearts and minds to what it means to be an American immigrant and to recognize our shared humanity.

Subscribers to our All-American Substack will receive an email featuring writings, music, art, dance and other gifts our contributors offer. Follow us on Instagram @AllAmericanStory

Works will also be promoted on the airwaves and in theaters, museums, bookstores and other venues across the country, reminding us all of the strength and beauty there is in belonging to something greater than ourselves.

To learn about our origins and inspiration, please listen to this interview, shared with permission from the American Immigration Lawyers’ Association and interviewer and AAS Advisor Angelo Paparelli; the interview first appeared in the AILA Blog post: Think Immigration: Immigrants and Immigration Attorneys Add to the Tapestry that is the “All-American Story.”
