Michelle Navarro and Living Under ICE Operations
Do Not Disturb shows Michelle Navarro's intentional decision to block out certain conversations and interactions when her community needed mental space. When she saw her cousin through the pizzeria window after an ICE sighting, she chose to wave and pretend she was just walking by instead of discussing the danger. She recognized that sometimes people need to avoid the constant processing of trauma and fear.
