A safe space isn't always a physical space
“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 discuss how safe spaces go beyond a physical realm–they are created through our language and how we support one another and ultimately ourselves.

What is your safe space?

UCI Narrative Project Podcast | Precursor
By turning our lives upside down, COVID-19 has focused our eyes on the inequities that exist within our systems, practices, and services on a national and institutional scale. In order to increase conversations around the barriers that exist within these systems and how these barriers impact the experiences of our campus community, UCI CARE developed a multi-video podcast called the “Narrative Project." The Narrative Project’s purpose is to create a virtual space for the diverse voices of the UCI community to explore topics of intersectionality, culture, power, community care, allyship, and restorative justice through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this episode, Melissa and Nhi will go over UCI CARE services, why the Narrative Project Podcast was created, historical acknowledgment of violence within California, and an overview of the different topics and guests they'll bring into the podcast space!
