About Port of Entry
Port of Entry is a journalism platform dedicated to the “After” of the immigrant story. By 2050, the United States is projected to become a majority-minority nation, with immigrants and their descendants driving the pulse of American growth. Yet, much of modern immigration journalism remains trapped at the border—focused on policy, enforcement, and politics.
Through interviews, narrative journalism, and reported essays, Port of Entry documents the lived experiences of immigrant and diasporic communities across generations. We bridge the gap between the first-generation arrival and the grandchildren growing up in the U.S. today, drawing on oral histories and community archives to record stories that traditional institutions often overlook.
As a daughter of immigrants now raising their grandchildren, I started this project to document how identity evolves, dissolves, and rebuilds across generations. This isn’t just a record of where we came from; it’s a map of where we are going.
