Special thanks to @level_vf for an incredible year and cohort, and to my amazing mentors @grewal_lily and @reddyforchange (two inspiring BIPOC women leaders & changemakers) for this incredible opportunity and learning experience!

Had the wonderful opportunity to be featured by LEVEL as part of their Youth Public Policy Program 🗣 In this interview, I talk about anti-Asian racism, and the need for actual representation and systemic change.
"In the time of a global pandemic, community and solidarity should be used as a method of healing and support,” says @juliachai_, a #YPP2020 participant. The continuing rise of anti-Asian racism makes these words especially meaningful.

Today is Juneteenth, a day that celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. This may be the first year many Canadians have heard of Juneteenth.
@TheRoot explains the history of Juneteenth and why lawmakers are pushing to make this a national holiday.
