Kit
Heritage Archive: Venezuelan American Family Stories Pack
Culturally Specific Printable Insert Pages
Your family left Venezuela before it was gone. Document what it was—and what leaving cost.
Venezuelan American families navigating the largest refugee and displacement crisis in Latin American history — including families who fled the Maduro regime's collapse, the hyperinflation and food shortages of the late 2010s, professionals who lost everything they built, and second-generation Venezuelan Americans processing a country that no longer looks like the one their parents described
The Name It First Experience
Venezuelan American families carry a grief that is specific to recent exile: the memory of a country that was functioning within living memory, the collapse that happened so fast it still feels impossible, and the experience of rebuilding in America while watching Venezuela continue to deteriorate from a distance. They carry the Venezuela of the oil boom and the Venezuela of the queues and the Venezuela of the border crossing — sometimes all in one family. This pack gives families structured prompts to document both: the Venezuela before the crisis, and the story of leaving. The output is a documented family archive that holds what was lost alongside what was built in America.
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
- I want to start with Venezuela as it was — before. Describe a memory or a story about what daily life was like. What do you want to preserve of that Venezuela?
- Tell me about the person in your family whose story most needs to be told — what they left, what the crisis did, what they carried to America.
- What does Venezuelan American identity mean in your family — the Venezuela before, the departure, the building of something new?
- What do you most want the next generation to know about your family's Venezuelan heritage and their story in America?
