LEGACY centers the stories and photo journeys of Black, Indigenous, POC, Queer and Trans youth in their roles as story-tellers and story-keepers as part of their collective liberation. This work has been an opportunity to envision and hold space where youth can dream and re-imagine a world that honors their wellness, ancestral medicine, traditions, and stories, as well as their role in building new ones. As Robin Wall Kimmerer shared in Braiding Sweetgrass: “We are not just storytellers, We are also story-makers.”

Lion’s Tooth Legacy Photo Project, uplifts the stories of seven immigrant and first generation youth photographers. Stories that reflect on the intersections of family, ancestors, joy, race, gender, faith and radical self-love as a way to deconstruct the legacy we choose to carry, heal and part ways from, but also build as future ancestors.
