ABSTRACT

This article explores my personal journey as a migrant from Colombia to the United States, the experiences of my friend, and the experiences of other migrants as we navigate our identity as citizens and ‘aliens’ during COVID-19. As I dig deep into what being a citizen represents when we migrate from our country of origin, I explore the different layers of meaning that this journey takes when a health pandemic, like COVID-19, is thrown into the mix.
