Pitch for Stories

I have a few ideas in mind for what I’d like to do for my public-facing project. The first is to interview the parents of one of my friends, who came to America from El Salvador. The second, which I can probably tie in with the first, is to interview the parents of my other friend, who are originally from Ecuador. I’d like to compare and contrast the different journeys, and possibly gain insight from other people in their generation who immigrated from South America. My third idea is to interview my mother on her personal experiences coming to New York from the Philippines and then interview my friend on his experience coming from the Philippines. With this third idea, I’d also be comparing two related journeys but this time contrasting the two based on their generation differences (i.e. my mother coming here in the 80s when she was in her 20s vs. my friend coming here in the early 2000s when he was a kid). Whichever idea turns out to offer the most detail is what I will use.
