The profound lives of Kali Fajardo-Anstine’s ancestors and elders reverberated in her present day, demanding to be felt, heard, shared. Her great-grandmother’s abandonment by her Belgian father. Her family’s migration from southern Colorado to Denver. Her great-grandmother’s sister, a lesbian who dressed in masculine clothing. The discrimination her grandfather faced as an Indigenous Chicano Filipino. The stories were passed down through her family in the oral tradition — rich histories archived by tongue, ear and memory — but Fajardo-Anstine’s fingers itched to preserve them in ink. “I felt this big sense of duty that I needed to be this storyteller,” Fajardo-Anstine said.
