Workbook
After Immigration
The Country Changed. The Language Changed. You're Still Here.
You survived the move. This workbook names what it made you.
For the adult who has immigrated — at any age, from any country — and wants to document what the experience did to their identity over time.
The Name It First Experience
Immigration changes people in ways that are rarely documented and almost never named. The language you dreamed in changed. The way you read a room changed. The relationships that survived the move changed too. After immigration, people carry a dual awareness: who they were in the country they left, and who they became in the country they arrived in. This workbook examines what immigrants live with years after arrival — the identity formed in the in-between, the cultural practices that stayed and those that quietly faded, and the specific kind of self that immigration builds. The output is not a memoir prompt. It is a signed identity document.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What name would you give the version of yourself that exists in the in-between — neither who you were before nor fully who you have become?
- What pattern do you notice in the dual awareness — the person you were in the country you left and the person you became in the country you arrived in?
- What would you put in the documentation of who you became — the things immigration changed that rarely get acknowledged?
Research basis
Grounded in Berry (1997) acculturation theory, Brah (1996) diaspora cartographies, Hall (1990) cultural identity and diaspora, and Suárez-Orozco and Suárez-Orozco (2001) research on the psychological dimensions of immigration.
