About OC Focus: Since 2023, we’ve been creating spaces to exchange knowledges, question harmful dominant narratives, and reimagine a world that prioritizes our collective well-being. Through our yearlong program, we contextualize our own stories by learning about the resistance, place-making, and creativity of racialized and marginalized communities who are often excluded from the historical record presented in our school classrooms.
