Wendy Ho, MPA's piece, "Embracing My Otherness," is a powerful testament to the strength found in embracing one's unique identity. Her journey from feeling like an outsider to becoming a trailblazing leader highlights her resilience and dedication to uplifting marginalized voices. Wendy’s insights and experiences are not only inspiring but also a vital reminder of the importance of diversity and inclusion in leadership. Her contributions to APALI as a board member (and event emcee!) continue to be invaluable, and we are proud to have her as a guiding force in our community. https://lnkd.in/gG_pUk5k #AAPILeadership #APALI Michael Chang Dennis Chiu Mayra Cruz Paul Fong Johnson Fong Diane N.
