Co-hosted AAPI Graduation

Today, I had the privilege of hosting my last AAPI Graduation Ceremony—this time, not just as the host, but as a graduate myself. Since 2022, I have served as the student emcee for this special celebration, honoring the stories, traditions, and resilience within our AAPI community as we mark the milestone of graduation.

This year felt especially meaningful. Standing on stage one last time, I saw not just a room of graduates, but a reflection of the strength, pride, and cultural heritage that brought us here. It was a full-circle moment—beautiful, emotional, and deeply affirming.
