“My journey as an activist started at a young age, when I watched my immigrant parents look after their family and community, in addition to working hard and raising my sisters and me. They were an inspiration for me and shaped how I viewed my role in my community. These books were all integral to my journey in growing as an advocate. Whichever you pick up, I hope they touch you the way they touched me and go on to inspire you to fight for a better world.”
