I am a 2nd generation Chinese American who grew up in Fremont and the Tri-Valley. I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I studied Political Economy and was involved in Asian American student organizing.My journey in movement work started in the decarceration and abolition space, where I did research and advocacy work at the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and the Vera Institute of Justice. Later on, I was introduced to organizing through Asian American student spaces at Berkeley. Learning about Asian American movement history in the Bay Area, especially youth movements, inspired me to be part of that history in my own way, whether it was by researching these histories of survival and resistance, or organizing with Asian Pacific American Student Development (APASD).

Organizing, and the experiences and relationships I have gained through it, has deeply shaped me and my worldview. It has helped me understand my personal experiences and the communities I grew up in through an entirely different light. It has helped me step into my power and wholeness in resistance of capitalism and model minority culture, and taught me how to be in meaningful solidarity with others. Each day I organize, I feel a little bit more transformed, and I do this work so that other young people can be transformed in their own way. My hope is that through this space, we can collectively heal, grow, and become co-conspirators in a truly liberated future!
