~High Vida Media is greatly honored to be invited to today's special new briefing ,held by Migration Policy Institute (MPI).
~MPI seeks to improve immigration and integration policies through authoritative research analysis, opportunities for learning and dialogue, and the development to new ideas to address complex policy questions.
"With well-designed and adequate resources to foster immigrant integration, established and more recent immigrants alike will continue to contribute to the metropolitan areas dynamism"~ MPI
~While taking notes during the briefing, I was truly astonished by the analytics highlighting the growing diversity in the Houston Metro Area. Having grown up in Alief, where families are predominantly immigrants and diverse, I found a personal connection to the topic and could validate the presented statistics.
"One statistic that really shows to what extent immigrants are integrating in Houston is that 48% who are living with a parent are under 18, have an immigrant parent' ~Valerie Lacarte
