Yuki Torrey (she/her)

Bio

Yukino Torrey is a Junior at UCLA, and is a Asian American Studies major with a minor in Public Affairs. She is really interested in teaching empathy through education for young children, specifically ethnic studies in public education. She wants to support and create spaces where people can come together and learn more about others’ experiences and shift their perspectives, especially due to her upbringing as a mixed-race person.

Solidarity Arts Fellowship reflection

She is extremely grateful to have had the experience of being in a community such as the Solidarity Arts Fellowship where she was able to put vulnerability and solitary into practice, and organize on many intersections (some identities that before the fellowship she did not give time to think about and process). She looks forward to continue working with Vigilant Love!

Object of resilience

“My object of resilience is a jar of affirmations that my mother made for me! It is really amazing and sometimes funny to open notes from her when I am not feeling my best.”
