Who He Was, Who She Was… and Is

A series of in-depth profiles of inspiring New Yorkers. Who were they when they arrived, and who have they become since? Who were they at one point in their life and how did they change?

The idea is not to relate someone’s entire biography but rather to relate a period in their life, an event, a moment that is illuminating. If they were an immigrant, how, why did they end up in America and what were the specific challenges? If they were born here, what obstacles did they face?

Try to use visual details, stories, dialogue, stories, and anecdotes to flesh out your subjects.
