I experienced a lot of confusion growing up trying to find my identity and sense of belonging between the values and expectations of two cultures, which has led to a journey of self discovery, learning, and reflection, and I want to be able to support others going through similar challenges and life experiences.
Shapes and Sounds acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land that our organisation operates on. We pay respect to First Nations Elders; past and present, and we acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and that a treaty has never been signed. Shapes and Sounds acknowledges the devastating impact of colonisation and brutality on the mental health of First Nations and Indigenous people. As Asian settlers on this Sacred land, we strive to utilise our own ancestries' experiences of colonisation, displacement and collective grief to ensure that we no longer perpetuate oppressive structures.
Shapes and Sounds is a certified social enterprise which is a business that exists to create measurable social impact. We invest at least 50% of our profits into our mission.
