T.K.'s Personal Narrative “As a Person of Colour I'm not gonna come here and tell y'all another sob story so that I can be told “we feel your pain”{ YOU DO NOT! }or “is there something…anything we can help you out with?” knowing it's going to be another comment or suggestion where I have to twist and turn, bend and break in order to be / feel like I’m part of the society."

YAC Journey Map Series
"I left so many things behind. I left so many childhood friends, my best friend. I also left the goodbye gifts my friend made for me on my last day. It was really painful as a 7 year old, and in retrospect I could imagine how much deeper our connection would be if stayed with my childhood friends until high school. But I have no regrets and I cannot look back." Click here to view the full artwork... S.M.'s Personal Narrative

Z.S.'s Personal Narrative "Maybe it’s not just a 2 AM thought… wondering why my life felt like an advertisement in a subway station.

Or wondering why, when my English teacher said we live our lives in public, it didn’t resonate with me… because none of my classmates actually knew what my reality was." By Z.S.

Just tell how would life be without the support that you once had. Things that you seen in the movies been my reality.
