🎬 Community. Conversation. Compassion. 🤍
Last night, we had the honor of attending the community screening of @rosemeadfilm Rosemead and the award-winning short film Birth of a Mind @birth_of_a_mind alongside fellow Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary Board Members, Secretary @theheartofsac Jennifer K. Nguyen and Community Development Chair Tiffany Le Ma. @tiffanylema_ , @priscillapjong

As President of the @sacsawa Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary, I believe that one of the most meaningful ways we can serve our community is by showing up—listening, learning, and engaging in conversations that inspire understanding and healing.

These powerful films explored themes of mental health, identity, family, and the lived experiences within the Asian American community. The panel discussion that followed encouraged thoughtful dialogue and reminded us that stories have the power to build empathy, break stigma, and bring communities together.

Thank you to the @calasianfoundation, The Center at Sierra Health Foundation, and all of the filmmakers, panelists, and organizers for creating a safe space for reflection and meaningful conversation. Thank you to @nildavalmores & @pfk95831 @darendien

Service extends beyond meeting physical needs—it also means supporting the emotional and mental well-being of our communities. Together, we continue to build stronger, more compassionate communities through connection, advocacy, and understanding.

Honored to serve alongside such dedicated leaders.

🤍 Serving with purpose. Leading with compassion. Building community.

Thank you to a young lady no more than 10 years old who held a sign that said “KIDS AGAINST KIDNAPPING”

Yes, let them melt.

First they came for the communists And I did not speak out
Because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the socialists And I did not speak out
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

-Martin Niemoller

When San Francisco went dark, their love didn’t. What could’ve stopped a wedding only revealed how strong it already was. Yes, the city lost power on their big day. Plans out the window, the venue even kicking everyone out. Yet what I witnessed was grace, patience, and pure calm in the chaos - two people grounded in each other, trusting the day would still be theirs no matter what, where, or how. And guess what? The night found a truly magical way ✨ They married. They danced. They were surrounded by love.
