After fleeing Venezuela's oppressive regime, Patricia Quiñónez and her husband faced a new battle against xenophobia in Utah, fueled by political rhetoric and social media.
Quiñónez established Utahzolanos to assist Venezuelan newcomers with practical information, aiming to combat the pervasive anti-immigrant sentiment rising in the U.S. since 2020.
Despite the discrimination faced, Quiñónez showcases local Venezuelan accomplishments on social media, yet feels overwhelmed by the ongoing negativity targeting her community.
The alarming rise of Venezuelan immigrants in the U.S. is met with scorn, as they are unjustly linked to crime and immigration issues in political discourse.
