"I do know that art means nothing if it simply decorates the dinner table of the power which holds it hostage."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For traditionally excluded/marginalized folks, just daring to be seen as ourselves, when the world wasn't built for us, is revolutionary and challenges the status quo. This is why true representation matters.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Connecting, sharing and having an intentional conv Connecting, sharing and having an intentional conversation about My Name Story with participants was an important part of the project. While we each have individual name stories, we are just a small part of a larger whole representing the experiences of many Asian Americans who have struggled with their names. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sharing and making visible our stories is important to add to a broader conversation about the American experience and the need to make it more inclusive. America doesn't just belong to a certain subset of people who get to claim it as "my" or to claim exclusive belonging. It belongs to all of those who make their home here. ​​​​​​​​
