Inspired by Recent Events of Asian Pacific Islander Month Cultural Heritage Speakers: Sponsored by Foothill College's: ASFC and Eng 1CH *Go Scott Lankford!* 

Shout out to THUY NGUYEN, MARIA AZHUNOVA, MAY-LEE CHAI, SAMINA ALI who gifted me the courage for me to share my story because they shared theirs. Google them or watch their engagement with Foothill recently here: https://foothill.edu/heritage/api.html

Special Shout out to my brother Fong Tran @ https://www.fongtran.com/ who inspired me with this creative peace. Thank you Foothill EOPS for connecting with me Fong through that Storytelling conference. Much Love brother.

Definitely gotta shoutout to my professors & mentors: Jeff Anderson, Cynthia Rostankowski, Valerie Fong, Scott Lankford, who continues to push me to grow.

and of course my family, it's okay if you don't know (much about) me, I will always love and appreciate you for your existence.
