I am thrilled to be celebrating nearly two years as a full-time staff member at the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC). And this year, I am proud to share that I have transitioned full-time to SEARAC’s Development team as our new (and first-ever!) Director of Development.

Working with SEARAC these past two years has been a blessing, a joy, and nothing short of a revelation. I am so grateful to be working alongside a cohort of passionate, powerful individuals who care deeply about their communities and their coworkers. We have created a culture of care that I regularly brag about to family, friends, and colleagues – you’ve probably heard more than once about how much I love working here.

And it’s not just the internal work that makes me so proud; it’s also our team’s and our partners’ dedication to building community power. This year, we demanded immediate and long-term investment into Southeast Asian American communities across all sectors. We called for culturally sensitive, linguistically accessible interventions that will allow generations to age with dignity. We mobilized against policies that separate our families. We said enough is enough.

As we look ahead to 2023 and the work still to be done, I invite you to join our movement for the rights of Southeast Asian Americans – and all marginalized communities – to heal, to be seen, and to family. We’re working to amplify the stories of refugee resilience and move SEARAC’s communities from the margins to the center. Will you support our work in 2023 and beyond?
