When starting a new life in a different country, we always need to take it step by step. We begin with the essentials. Transitioning from one language to another involves vocabulary, music, and silence: it's like building a tall tower—a stronger new life. Our five senses stay active. We start this journey with a collection of those various things and feelings that support migration at OSU.

Our second step is never easy. Now we have friends and know how not to get lost, but we start to miss all the things and family we left behind. We feel that we need to recover our memories. Also, we start in different ways to express new words and silences. Art is our movement. Pictures are part of us in this project.

We are experiencing both our sadness and our happiness. We start reading more books and writing in a second language. We connect with certain authors, series, and movies. We have friends in our classes and more connections here, which are special experiences that reflect our desire to learn more. In this project, this step is meaningful for us. We don't need to be alone. We need to be connected, even if days are too short to complete all our dreams.

Now we have more roots, projects, photographs, and texts. We now need to cover the expenses that turn our ideas from text to video, with each story recorded. This is an investment that will last. The stories of women stored in a country's memory are worth a treasure.

This donation doubles the impact, just as our experiences as migrant women in the United States have doubled and multiplied. When we start a new life, our expenses and investments also increase. Mathematicians tell us that what we wish to share multiplies to the *n*th power. With this support, we will be able to share the full multiplicity of our voices to the *n*th power as Venezuelan migrant women.
