Keynote - Youth Leadership Forum - Able SC
I was keynote at the Youth Leadership Forum by South Carolina Able on 7/26/21
YLF 2021 is in full swing! Delegates have spent the morning building their disability pride and hearing from our keynote speaker, @harisri108 , about how small pieces of self-advocacy can lead to big changes for the disability community!
As Hari said, 'I think when you have a disability, some part of you is always in some kind of self doubt about your capabilities'. For the rest of the day, we are continuing to build our disability pride and work on ways to get past that self doubt to become strong advocates for ourselves and others!

My first book reading
my first book reading (via zoom) at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, on 7/22
The last time I was published by Scholastic in an anthology, there were readings in Battery Park,NY and I never went as I thought I would not be able to participate, much to my regret now.
So this was my very first attempt using text to speech to read out the excerpts.. yeah.
Thursday 7/22, Essential Truths has their virtual Oakland Book Launch, hosted by Oakland Asian Cultural Center, from 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. PST!!!!
