“Good evening everyone,

On behalf of Asian American Stories, I am deeply honored and humbled to receive this award from the City of Santa Clara.

Thank you Mayor and council members for recognizing our mission to bring the bring communities together and tell Asian American Stories. We just had our 2nd Asian Americans Stories Award Ceremony.

This recognition is not just for me — it belongs to our entire team, our co-chair Joel Wong, Gerrye Wong, our committee members, judges whose tireless work, and dedication make every story come to life. It also belongs to the creative storytellers who have trusted us with their memories, their voices, and their truths.

Most of all, this award belongs to our community. Your strength, resilience, and support are the heartbeat of what we do.

Together, we are building bridges between generations, cultures, and experiences—one story at a time.

Thank you again for this incredible honor. Let’s keep listening, sharing, and growing together.”
