Tonight (FiComm meeting for SASC-SI)...much like every moment that I spend with SASC family...makes me feel HELLA juiced and inspired of our community.
"SASC SI was the first time of me learning about MY history and MY parent's experiences and when I asked my mom about her experience as a refugee...tears rolled down her eyes because she never thought that her son would ever ask about her story" -Larry Xuan Bach
"DAMN those are a lot of questions. Why do I have to ask WHY I didn't have the things that other people have" -Son Chau
"It sucks and unfair to think that my sister wouldn't be able experience SASC SI because we have a 'budget' " -Tracy Nguyen
"I came to SASC SI as a nobody and I left as a SOMEBODY. If ME being HUMANIZED because of SASC SI isn't a good enough reason for yall to fund us...then I don't know what will" -Stephanie Yang
Nuff' Said yalls...you beautiful beautiful young leaders spoke loudly tonight...you spoken not only for SASC, not only for the Southeast Asian community...but you spoke for the FUTURE LEADERS OF TOMORROW who will have the chance to be able to experience SASC-SI because of you.
Thank you downass community and the rest of the speakers (Danielle, Amy, Jesse, Nhi, Yer, Boun, and much more) for speaking on behalf of SASC tonight. And those who stood there along our side...snapping your fingers...you too, spoke very loudly for our community as well. Because of you, many lives will continue to be inspired and many life pathways will be paved for the better.
