Dari Project Call for Stories Extended Until March 15!
As you know, Dari has been collecting personal histories and testimonials from LGBTQ Korean Americans. We are truly grateful for all the submissions we have received, and thank those who took the time to submit.
However, we have also gotten many inquiries about people who are interested in submitting, but are concerned about meeting the deadline. In response, we have decided to keep our call for submissions open until MARCH 15, 2008. We are also hoping to reach out to parts of our communities that remain under-represented in our submissions pool, including family, friends, and straight Korean American allies.
Please visit this page to learn more about how to share your story with us.
