I survived a hate crime
As a survivor of a hate crime, my work is deeply personal. I use my platform to help organizations understand that inclusion isn’t theoretical — it’s urgent. Communities like AAPI, LGBTQ+, and first-gen professionals face rising threats, both physical and psychological.I partner with leaders to move beyond statements and into action — creating cultures where safety, visibility, and belonging are non-negotiable.
