Behind Your Shadow

Written By Mai Ka Yang

In fall of 2020 I have the chance to participate in The SEA Change Lab, a program of The SEAD Project.

“SEA Change Lab is a cohort-based program aimed at growing social empowerment and leadership development through creative storytelling in young people with heritage roots in Southeast Asia (Burmese, Cambodian, Hmong, Karen, Karenni, Lao, Vietnamese, etc); specifically youth and young adults ages 18-25...” - The SEAD Project

At the end of the program as artist we all have submit a zine project that addresses an issue that’s happening in our SEA community and Behind Your Shadow was my piece.

Behind Your Shadow was written from a personal approach because mental health issues is a very vulnerable topic and every experiences is different.

To address the topic fully is super complicated because one would need to evaluate or experience the topic from every angle and often times the best way to address it is to accept ones personal experience and lay it down as an opening ground for everyone to grow and learn from.

I hope the song is able to speak to you and bring the courage to continue your journey.

Many blessings,

MK
