For Salvadoran Americans
The Identity Between the War and the Work
You survived the war and built a life. Name who you are beyond both.
For the Salvadoran American person working through what it means to carry Salvadoran identity — the civil war, displacement, TPS, and the strength that built a life in America — into an American present
The Name It First Experience
You carry an identity shaped by civil war, US deportation policy, and the relentless work of building an American life. This workbook names who you are beyond those forces — the Salvadoran American identity that exists on the other side of survival. The output is Your Salvadoran American Identity Charter — a stress-tested and signed declaration of who you are between the war and the work.
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
- Name what you carry from the history your family came out of — and describe how much of it you chose to carry and how much arrived with you.
- What does Salvadoran identity mean to you specifically — not the civil war narrative, not the diaspora story, but what it means to you in your daily life?
- What do you want for your own life that exists beyond the story of why your family came and what they survived?
