Episode Description

Today’s story comes to us from Feet in 2 Worlds, an independent media outlet and journalism training program that empowers the voices of immigrant journalists.

Over the past few years, around 40,000 Venezuelans arrived in Denver fleeing political and economic instability. Initially, with help from the city and non-profit organizations, many were able to find stable housing and jobs. But with all the recent changes in immigration policy, they now face an uncertain future. 

This episode is a part of a Feet in 2 Worlds series called The Hustle, which focuses on the ways in which immigrants navigate a changing economy — today and throughout history. To learn more about Feet in 2 Worlds, please visit fi2w.org.
