From the back cover:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, San Diego resident Lindsay M. Hood, an award-winning local news producer, embarked on a unique community project to capture the diverse experiences of people of color and marginalized groups in the region. Stories of San Diego aims to document the impact of the pandemic on these communities, shedding light on the racial disparities and social injustices exacerbated by the virus. An anthology, it is a collection from San Diego journalists whose stories explore aspects such as home life, employment struggles, disrupted plans, discrimination, and challenges in essential jobs, healthcare, and housing. Stories of San Diego seeks to challenge assumptions, disrupt prevailing cultural narratives, and ensure that all voices are heard.
