Fantastic curation here. The way "Promises" captures that specific hope-to-dispair arc for folks chasing economic mobility abroad really gets at something deeper than just immigration narratives. I rememer a friend from Lagos who went through almost the exact same trajectory in Manchester, and seeing fiction map that so precisely makes me think we're finally getting past surface-level diaspora stories. What strikes me most is how the "picking up the peices" part often gets left out of these conversations when it's maybe the most important phase.
