In this class, we have touched on a variety of interconnected themes:
- Immigration / Migration

Create a post on Storefront Survivors using Aesop Story Engine telling the story of one (or more) of your businesses in a way that reflects one (or more) of these broader themes and places your business and the people involved with it in the context of New York City’s past or present.
