Happy in the face of Genocide
As a family of Uyghur refugees, we could not return to our home in Urumqi. Tashkent was our next best chance. We had the opportunity to wear our traditional garb and get a taste of our past while supporting the Uyghurs that weren't as lucky as us to escape China's cultural genocide.
