If I asked you to guess the number one killer of children and teens – what would be your answer? Shocking but true - It’s gun violence.

Media portrayals of immigrants can perpetuate stereotypes and misinformation, influencing Americans' perceptions and attitudes toward immigrants. Negative stereotypes may contribute to fear, prejudice, and discrimination, making it difficult to foster empathy and understanding. That’s why bringing in a quarterly segment produced by the Welcoming Center and hosted by its CEO Anuj Gupta. The Center supports immigrants in achieving economic independence, integration and wellbeing. The feature is designed to build empathy and understanding across cultural divides. Anuj’s first guests are Yu Shan Chou who along with Karen Cervera started “Let’s Talk Philly” which offers conversation circles in person and virtually for immigrants to practice English with one another and build social connections.
