A little bit from the LI profile:

She is a fluent speaker of Mandarin Chinese. She has both administrative skills and writing talent and would like to work for the Asian Pacific American community or Chinese American community at a national or international level.

Specialties: Asian Pacific American issues, Asian Pacific American history, Asian and Asian Pacific American arts and cultures, ethnic studies, multicultural issues, diversity, race, gender, writing, editing, speaking, teaching, lecturing, civil rights activism, revitalizing agencies, computerizing and streamlining systems, marketing, publicity, fundraising, development, logistics, strategy, language learning, raising our children with culture(s), Chinese New Year's traditions and stories.

love letter from Helen Zia

I shared the links to 18 Million Rising's post and the #iamvincentchin Tumblr as well as all the materials I have collected at RememberingVincentChin.com with Helen Zia and the folks at American Citizens for Justice (ACJ) and...
"Frances,
Thanks so much for all the links to the final mural art and such moving testaments to Vincent, his mother and the movement to bring him justice. It all speaks to the importance of ACJ's work in advocacy and as keepers of the legacy of both Vincent and the movement that ACJ started.
Thanks to you all,
Helen"
Squee! :) So let's keep working...
