Reflections Told is a project that has been 8 years in the making — 8 years of journal entries, photographs, poems, and other clippings created and collected during my time in South Korea, the Philippines, and the United States. Reflections Told zooms in on my experiences, memories, and observations and situates them in history and social context.
They’re personal because I witnessed them and, more importantly, at the same time, they’re embedded in larger structures and systems that still must be acknowledged, explored, critiqued, dismantled, and redefined.
Sometimes, the reflections are uncomfortable to read because the situations and memories themselves were uncomfortable to experience.
I invite you to read, share, comment, and ask questions. The driving questions I grapple with are:
- When history speaks to you, how will you respond?
- When women of color speak, who hears us?
Answers will come. They always unfold.
As, and until they do, in the sharing, together we learn.
