Strong Like Bamboo 3: Stories of Resilience from Across America

Seven storytellers of various ethnic and cultural origins will share their stories that celebrate our humanity at a time when it's being challenged.

• Laura Simms, weaving her personal story with an ancient Jewish folktale.

• Johnny Moses, bringing humor looking back at the challenges he faced as a Tulalip Native American.

• Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo, who starts his story with his grandfather apologizing to his 8 children the night before being shipped off to the internment camps.

• Olga Loya, a story of resilience and resistance to claim who she is.

• Asma Ghanem, a Palestinian refugee and how art saved her life.

• Archy Jamjun, who finds it's ok to be LGBTQ+, but experiences racism in his own family?

• Tureeda Mikell, fiery African American poetess will have you at the edge of your seat shouting!

Nancy Wang is going to bring fire and wisdom as the Emcee!
