Too often communities of color, immigrant communities and Indigenous communities are misrepresented or rendered invisible in mainstream media and public policy. At EchoX we believe everyone has a story to tell and that communities can reclaim space to define their narratives with their own voices.
Our name, EchoX, stands for Ethnic Cultural Heritage Online Exchange; a place for sharing and exchanging stories, experiences and information.
To find our way forward toward achieving this EchoX vision, we must know from where we come, respect others’ stories and continually ground ourselves in place.
We carry our cultures with us, yet, cultures are alive and dynamic.
EchoX’s goal is to be an equitable sharing venue where we can build greater awareness about the cultures that make up our community. Rather than speak for others, we hold digital space to empower and motivate each of us to have a direct online voice, especially those whose narratives are often misrepresented and continue to be suppressed.
