(Laughter) Unfortunately, it didn't feel much like a celebration when, growing up, my mother and I would wander past Queens into New York City streets, and my mother with her hijab and long flowy dresses would tighten her hand around my small fingers as she stood up against weathered comments like, "Go back to where you came from," "Learn English," "Stupid immigrant."
(웃음소리) 불행히도, 별로 축하하는 것처럼 느껴지지 않았습니다. 어린시절, 저는 어머니와 퀸즈를 지나 뉴욕의 거리를 걷곤 했는데 그럴 때마다 히잡을 쓰고  긴 드레스를 입은 어머니는 저의 작은 손을 더 꽉  잡으시곤 했습니다. 주변의 차가운 말들을  견뎌내며 말이죠. "너희 나라로 돌아가라" "영어 좀 배워라" "멍청한 이민자"
