Is Now A Good Time?

Dolly Li is a visual journalist at AJ+ - http://www.ajplus.net/english/ - http://dollyli.com/ Dolly's grandfather was persecuted during the cultural revolution in China before her parents eventually immigrated to Brooklyn, New York. Dolly's story explores how in two generations you can go from cultural persecution to professionally practicing free speech. Her father, who is also an artist, taught her how to draw but didn't always see art or journalism as a viable career path. "I know I'm here because my parents dreamed a bigger dream for me . . . My ability to practice free press here is something that my grandparents could only dream of." "Everything can be learned through practice and if you want to be a good artist you do it every day. You do it until you get it and you will get it if you commit to it." "Things move faster than our imaginations sometimes." Episode Mixed by Mike Benz - https://www.mixcloud.com/djtashtego/
