“Power In Our Unity”
Photo
Inspired by recent events of anti-Asian hate crimes. As a Chinese-Vietnamese American woman born and raised in San Francisco, violence against Asian people, particularly our elders, has struck close to home in more ways than one. Colonizer “divide and conquer” strategies have terrorized our communities for long enough. We must strive for racial unity if we want to achieve decolonization, and focus on the true root of our oppression: white supremacy.

Hazel Kyle
I’m an artist. Daughter of healers descendent from my mothers grandmothers mother. Deeply spiritual, we know the power of touch. I am a storyteller, daughter of orators. My fathers father knew how to wield the charm called connection. I channel my ancestors. Every mark made, renders me holy. There is more than the illusion of reality. I am sensitive, meaning: strong enough to see.
