Application for Real People. Real Lives. 2020 is now open

New Women New Yorkers (NWNY) is excited to launch the third edition of its storytelling project Real People. Real Lives. Women Immigrants of New York. The project will feature the stories of immigrant women who have made New York City their home.

Each woman participating in the project will be asked to share her unique immigrant experience and answer questions about other topics during one or more interviews conducted via phone or video call with a NWNY staff or volunteer. Recordings, writings, and potentially photographs (or some sort of visual product) of project participants will be featured at one or more events of New Women New Yorkers and on our website and social media. You can visit our website here and here to learn more about past editions of the project. 

If you’d like to apply for participating in the project, please fill out the Interest Form. This year, the form is available in Arabic, Bangla, English, French, Haitian Creole, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Also help us spread the word by sharing the news with your network and social media.
