First off, thank you very much at XDSU for allowing me the opportunity to have this conversation with you guys. Um, thank you for the awesome introduction. I'd like to start with a little thought. maybe um about 10 years of age, I got a phone call from a family friend of ours and that person kind of mistook me as my sister and he basically addressed me as my sister purely because of the high vocal pitch of hers and I felt a little offended.

When I was younger, my neighborhood was alive with little rituals, and even I had one of my own. In the morning before school, I would see uncles and aunties doing tai chi at the basketball court. After school, the void deck would be filled with chattiness of the aunties, and I would usually say, "Hello, auntie." before heading up to the leaf.By late afternoon, the playground would echo with laughter. And if I were to spot my neighbor playing below, I would rush to my mom and ask her, "Can I go down and pla ...

Who were you. 10 years ago, who are you today. And more importantly, who will you be tomorrow.If you think the answer is obvious, let me tell you, you do not know who you will be because identity is a river, not a stone. I was that obedient child, ever eager to please my parents, teachers, and a lovable friend to many, matter of pride perhaps. But what about that childhood fun and freedom that I silently forfeited.Then came university. I stepped out of my serious tag and explored fun, freedom and a bit of r ...

[Applause] What if I told you that the most dangerous kind of racism isn't shot in the streets, but whispered in the classrooms, hallways, even living rooms. You know, the kind of someone says, "Relax. It's just a joke. Don't take it personal." Or friends, it's okay. I've heard that so many times.And every single time it made me wonder why the joke had to be at my expense. I can't even count how many times someone has commented on my hair, my skin, or the food I eat. Always followed by, "Come on, it's just ...

At like many other people at our school, I volunteer at Eagle Ridge Hospital. I'm in the PATH dining assistance program where my job is to mainly listen to the patients and hear what they have to say and just engage in conversation with them. I'm assigned to E2B and for those who are the same, you know, it's really not sunshine and rainbows in that ward.It usually hosts older patients.
