The Saturday sun rose with a promise of a glorious day, and indeed it was. The San Diego Asian Film Foundation in partnership with the Bayside Community Center set-up their Connect San Diego booth, welcoming in participants of the Linda Vista Multi-Cultural Fair to share their stories. Complete with a T.V. screen, camera, and backdrop, passers-by were able to experience a live screening of their neighbors as they revisited their roots and their journeys that have led them to the multicultural fusion that is Linda Vista. From Cambodian refugees to Puerto Rican pilots each story intertwined beautifully with the previous, revealing a diverse foundation on which the community is built.
As the most unsuspecting faces revealed how their footprints remain in the sands of Linda Vista's time, it inspires a sense of universal story. Though each individual's path may be splattered with varying colors of struggles and achievements, it is our humaness that we must never forget. As people continued to bustle along the Linda Vista Road, Connect SD was able to freeze time for a select few, capturing moments and stories that have helped shape this community now and forever.
