For immigrants and those who grew up in immigrant households

Are you passionate about uplifting immigrant communities and creating meaningful change in the Mid-South? The Young Adult Advisory Council offers an empowering opportunity to use your voice, share your experiences, and shape initiatives that make a difference.

As a member, you’ll:

  • Advocate for policies that support immigrant families

  • Provide valuable insights to guide community programs

  • Connect with other young leaders committed to equity and inclusion

  • Strengthen your leadership skills through hands-on involvement

Join us in building a more inclusive and welcoming Mid-South — one voice, one action, one story at a time.

I'm interested!

Share Your Perspective

Call for Submissions

Your voice matters — and your story deserves to be heard.

At the MidSouth Immigrant Integration Network (MSIIN), we honor the diverse perspectives, journeys, and voices of immigrants and children of immigrants in our community. Every experience — every challenge, triumph, and moment of resilience — adds to the rich fabric of who we are.

We invite you to submit your writings that reflect your perspective as an immigrant or a child of immigrants. Your words have the power to inspire understanding, build empathy, and spark meaningful conversations.

Whether it’s a:

  • Personal essay

  • Poem

  • Short story

  • Reflection piece

We welcome all forms of written expression.

By sharing your story, you’re not only amplifying your own voice — you’re helping shape a more inclusive and compassionate Mid-South. Let your words stand as a testament to heritage, identity, and belonging.

Note: Submissions are welcome in any language. If you prefer to share your story verbally, a transcriber can assist you. Anonymous submissions are also accepted.

I want to share!
