FEATURED COLLABORATION

Connecting Community and the Bellingham Public Library present
​The Unrooted Experience

A group of six powerful community voices gathered in November 2020 to share their lived experiences through digital storytelling. This project came to life in the middle of the COVID19 pandemic - at the same time that a call to action against anti-Blackness grew profoundly clear. ​

As I stood with my children at the George Floyd memorial that rested on the steps of the Bellingham Public Library, I was compelled to ask: What voices in our community have been missing? This question inspired me to connect with local Black community members to create a space for interconnection and healing to take place through shared storytelling. The library was the perfect organization to partner with, as it is one of the most accessible community gathering places.

Special thank you to the Friends of the Library for funding this project!
