Building an inclusive world where everyone can speak and be heard
"As a student, I feel a great responsibility to promote inclusive spaces so that everyone can speak without hesitation. For two years, I have worked with the Center for Cultural Liberation and APIDA, promoting social justice and highlighting diverse heritages. I created a workshop with them to share my story of being accepted by Chinatown, and provided tools to help people become better communicators and listeners." - Mia
