KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
We bring only the best to come speak to you about challenging, sensitive topics. They are coming to share with us their stories and insights regarding the issues that surround and shape Asian American identities - four centuries of Asians in the U.S., personal experiences growing up and confronting racial realities, and engagement with other Asian Pacific Islander Americans and People of Color in general to build coalitions and promote solidarity.
Our keynote speakers are Eric Lu (from Jubilee Project), Curtis Chin, Arden Cho, and Kristina Wong. We hope you're just as excited as we are to see them.
Come listen to these phenomenal individuals as they share poignant life experiences about how they achieved their successes through life. We encourage you to ask questions, to share your stories, and to feel comfortable with this community.
