OurStory Blog
The "Our Story" section on Story Shifters' website will be a blog full of posts highlighting the community work that People of Color have done throughout history and are doing today. We welcome you all to share any contributions that you, your ancestors, family members, neighbors, or friends have made to your community. We want to highlight all the big and small feats that People of Color have accomplished throughout history and today. We want to encourage creativity through this blog, so we welcome collaboration and the submission of unique expressions of these stories (whether that be spoken word, dance, art, poetry, collections of photography, etc). We hope that you all will consider contributing to help make "Our Story" a place where People of Color can feel empowered to continue shaping and celebrating our own communities!

At almost 60 years old, my mom, Victoria Li, has done her fair share of community work throughout her lifetime. From what she has told me, it all started in 1989 when there were protests going on in Beijing during the movement for free speech and democracy. While my mom wasn’t one of the protesters risking their lives in Tiananmen Square, she was there behind the scenes providing protesters with any medical help they needed.
