UCI CARE Narrative Project

“Safe spaces are for yourself as much as they are for other people.”

In this episode of the Narrative Project, Nhi, Melissa, Cheng, and Jason discuss the important role of safe spaces and the ways in which we can cultivate these safe spaces.

They talk about how safe spaces are not, and should not be, defined by one set idea of what “safety” is, and this concept changes from individual to individual depending on our lived experiences and unique backgrounds. What is your safe space?
