Photo of of two images: on the left is a photo of a projected screen showing two windows open. One has a slide on the left side with a list of resources. On the right side is the Zoom videoconference platform featuring 2 smaller windows featuring Alice Wong, an Asian American woman wearing a BiPap mask over her face with a tube attached in the upper left corner. On the lower right corner is the image of Geraldine Ah-Sue, an Asian American woman with black-rimmed glasses. Both are participating in the presentation remotely. The second image on the right side is an outdoor photo of Yosmay del Mazo, a Latinx transgender person standing outside State Hall, on the Wayne State University campus with his hand in a thumbs-up gesture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs the DVP continues to grow and broaden its scope, I will never forget that it all started with the simple idea of having people with disabilities tell their stories with the option of archiving them at the Library of Congress.\u00a0The DVP is just one of numerous community partnerships from the San Francisco Bay Area that will miss this invaluable resource.<\/p>\n
I feel rather salty about the decision by the StoryCorps main office to close the San Francisco Story Booth. My mood resembles this cat photo:<\/p>\nAngry looking cat with a white underbelly and dark fur on top. The cat’s mouth is open in mid-hiss as it sits in a grassy area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHowever, I will try to remember the good times and what we built together. I promise to take what I learned from the wonderful people at StoryCorps SF to whatever I do now and in the future. Hold up…..Too. Many. Feels.<\/p>\n
