Inspired by youth

My work is inspired by young people, who have taught me to listen, to learn from communities, and most importantly, to enjoy what I do, In 2012, I met Carmen, Emilio, Catalina, and Fabiola, who inspired me to start Unlocking Silent Histories in 2013. 

Join me in honoring the Indigenous youth and communities who opened their worlds to me and contributed to the creation of Unlocking Silent Histories. Without each and every individual, this program – and now this digital humanities project – would not exist. The official website houses short videos that reflect the lives, voices, and visions of Maya, Lumbee, Quechua, and Shipibo youth. These young people are equal authors of this site.
