It's Monday evening. My mom, my dad, and I are sitting at the dinner table with our eyes trained on the computer screen in front of us. I say hello in Chinese: “Nǐmen hǎo!” " Āi!" my grandma replies. I see my mom's three older sisters and my grandma eating brunch in Tianjin, China. We're eating dinner in Redmond, Washington. They tease us for eating Costco dumplings and flaunt their own homemade ones.

My great aunt, Milagros Ortiz, has an air about her that's warm and calm. Her laugh is loud, and when she speaks, it's right to your soul. In her house in British Columbia, we listen to traditional dance music she recorded when she visited Nicaragua a few years ago. It's a place she has mixed feelings about because "pain is there." But there's also resilience and joy, my Tia (aunt in her native language, Spanish) tells me.

Two stories on our podcast this week about Seattleites breaking free and breaking stereotypes: Jesse Weinstock is an avid skater. “Most of my best friends I met through skateboarding. My oldest friend, Andy, I met on the first day of seventh grade. I was like, 'You have a skate shirt on, do you skate?' We’ve been friends now for 30 years.” Ashveen Matharu has been dancing Bhangra since middle school (she recently graduated high school). “I was motivated to dance Bhangra because it’s a stereotype for girls not to dance Bhangra.”

Everyone has a story to tell, and we thought it would be cool to see what they were. We go to the farmer's market and ask what everyone's go-to party story is. "I was totally fine. I had a broken neck but I wasn't paralyzed or anything." Maya Konz finds out that her dad grew up in Nigeria, and that his brother once told a very strange lie involving a leopard and a pool of blood. Jad Vianu's uncle went to the Oscars, lost to Al Gore, and made a statement. What's your go-to story? Tell us on RadioActive's Facebook , Twitter or Instagram .

Recently I was visiting my grandmother, Kazuko Nita, in Japan. Achan, as I call her, knows that I’m not good at cooking and that my knife skills are horrible, so she decided to teach me how to thinly slice cucumbers. It was very difficult to cut them thin and quickly, but as Achan says with everything, I need to do it over and over again, then I will get it.

On the surface, the city of Seattle seems to celebrate diversity, but Seattle's Garfield High School tells a different story. From the effects of historic housing discrimination, to the current academic tracking program that separates Advanced Placement from "regular" classes, and the drama department's production of a Latinx play with a non-Latinx cast, current and former students talk about how racism manifests at the school. This is the latest of KUOW's RadioActive Youth Media stories created in our Intro to Journalism Workshop for young people age 16-18.
