it seems

Narinda, ,

that the darkness is getting darker

there are hungry
there are ignorant
there are homeless
there are angry
there are delusional
there are insane
there are violent

but i look
to my left
and my right

and i see hunger for knowledge,
open doors and welcoming arms,
i hear passionate dreams
and beautiful fantasies

i hear the seeds
of everything we need
to lift the darkness

i see you
pulling in the sun.

I graduated from UC Irvine in 2007, moved to Los Angeles, and worked with arts/community organizations throughout the city from 2007-2012. Most formative have been my experiences with Tuesday Night Project and Asian American lesbian web series That's What She Said. Recently, I was a First-Year Public Ally and S. Mark Taper Foundation Fellow working as a case manager with homeless and low-income seniors in Downtown Los Angeles' Skid Row. I'm currently spreading roots to Oakland, CA while continuing to be very much in love with Los Angeles.
