Lissbeth Garcia

Lissbeth Garcia’s Younify campaign objective is to help raise public awareness and promote social change among communities impacted by the separation of families by fostering unity through self-discovery, strengthening family and community bonds through art workshops and reflective experiences while building vital bridges to essential services for those affected by family separation. The campaign includes a series of workshops designed to foster connection, integration, and resilience. Participants will engage in art expressions to explore personal experiences, emotions, aspirations, and collaborative art-making to encourage unity and family bonds, as well as guided storytelling circles to share their stories about family separation and integration. Collaborations with local community organizations and support services will support wellness practices and provide resources and information on family reunification, support, and more.
