Intersectionality helps us understand how overlapping identities—such as race, gender, and immigration status—create unique struggles and strengths. For Asian and immigrant communities, these layers shape mental health, belonging, and access to support.

Living under H1B uncertainty takes a heavy toll on mental, physical, and professional well-being. Amid anxiety and fear, resilience is found not in thriving but in simply continuing forward.
