Safety for Us is a storytelling project highlighting stories from black community members living in the United States. The main intent of this project is to provide a space for storytelling for black people, by people. Often times, storytelling is co-opted by the dominant culture by essentially erasing black people's humanity and their experiences. This project emphasizes that it is one puzzle piece in the collective movement for black lives, that builds on to existing projects that are shifting the narrative of safety in our communities.
