Red, White and Brown facilitates substantive conversations through narrative storytelling and community engagement.
There is a need for conversations where:
South Asian American communities can own and share their own authentic stories at a time when…
…We are increasingly growing in population and prominence in public and private sectors across the United States and…
…Much of the South Asian experience is funneled into a single story, which glosses over diverse stories in our communities.
South Asian Americans have been undercovered and underrepresented in a complex way in the news media. We recognize that is a gap, but there are others solving that problem.
The gap we are tackling is a place for people to process the news, understand how it impacts them and provide ideas about how they want to see themselves represented.
Our goal is to establish a genuine feedback loop with South Asian American communities. We have prototyped new methods of engaging communities through text messaging, theatrical plays and (virtual and in-person) events.
We believe in representing a diversity of South Asian American experiences — and that includes diversity of geography, community/caste, family and thought. We recognize South Asian communities, spaces and conversations can look different on the U.S. coasts compared to their presence in smaller or mid-sized cities.
At the end of the day, we’re journalists and believe in accuracy and fairness.
We like to collaborate.
