Back in 2021, the Stories Empowered team interviewed Haruka Noda, a senior from Portola High who led an initiative to create a mural advocating against Asian hate crimes and eventually founded Murals with Message: an organization that makes murals relating to social justice. Throughout this episode, we talked with Haruka about how her upbringing shaped her perspectives on activism, the overall process of completing her first mural and her inspiration to turn that one project into the fully-fledged Murals with Message. We ended off by discussing the intersection between art and activism as well as Haruka's future plans for Murals with Message.
