ဗေဒါပျံ အံကိုခဲ ပန်းပန်လျက်ပဲ

Biting her lips, Baydar wears the flower without a beam.

—Saya Zaw Gyi, “Baydar Lan” / “Hyacinth’s Way”

 

Baydar (ဗေဒါ) is a U.S.-based social media collective that brings awareness to political movements taking place in Burma/Myanmar, as well as issues facing its diaspora in the U.S.

Our name means “hyacinth” in Burmese, a flower symbolic of resilience and resistance.
