I’m the daughter of a refugee whose family was tortured and executed in his native country, then arrived in the United States only to build a life plagued with targeted anti-Asian violence that continues to escalate today. Overcoming systemic oppression and inherited generational trauma is a lifelong marathon, not a sprint -- this is a mantra that I carry with me as I build my own life and career.
