The impacts of migration are multigenerational. It affects those we leave, those we bring, and those born long after resettlement. Through the action of displacement and in the subsequent retellings of the journey, families and communities begin to blur the lines between individual and collective experience, mixing together their memories of joy, challenge, and trauma. I’ve come to sit with the imperfection of my competing memories—nonlinear, atemporal thoughts that meander and meditate along the erratic threads of experience that connect me and my ancestors to the places we’ve inhabited.
