Maum’s Founding Director Dr. Park will facilitate a virtual workshop, "Storytelling Matters," to explore the relationships between race, space, and the news media, specifically in relation to LA's Koreatown, for KYCC (Koreatown Youth and Community Center). KYCC is a multi-service nonprofit that has served the limited-income immigrant population of Los Angeles’s Koreatown since 1975.

The workshop participants will include high school youth from KYCC's Koreatown Storytelling Program; KYCC's UCLA undergrads engaged in an experiential project involving Koreatown small business owners; and staff from KYCC's Prevention Education program, which uses an “environmental” approach to substance abuse prevention.

To anchor the discussion, Dr. Park will host a virtual screening of Grace Lee and Eurie Chung’s documentary film K-Town ‘92: Reporters (distributed by Good Docs). We will be joined by one of the three former Los Angeles Times reporters featured in the film, John Lee.
