About the author
Stories of Us was created and edited by Samira Puente as a community storytelling project celebrating the voices of immigrants and their families. Inspired by her own journey from Cuba to the United States, Samira created this project to preserve stories that are often overlooked and to encourage empathy through personal experiences. She hopes this book reminds readers that every person carries a story worth hearing.
