If you're allowed to say hate, I'm allowed to say love. I'm allowed to share the truth.

In The Winter of Our Resistance, Azomali Obisakin reflects on growing up with Nigerian and Mexican heritage while navigating the fear, anger, and uncertainty surrounding Metro Surge. From organizing a school walkout to witnessing how immigration enforcement has changed everyday life for her family and calssmates, she shares a young person’s perspective on cultural identity, belonging, and the importance of speaking out.     


The Winter of Our Resistance was financed in part by a series of anonymous donors that contributed generously to In Progress as an arts organization supporting artists and community during Metro Surge. We are eternally grateful for the opportunities afforded to us during this stressful time.
