Tonight...much like every moment that I spend with SASC family...makes me feel HELLA juiced and inspired of our community.
"SASC SI was the first time of me learning about MY history and MY parent's experiences and when I asked my mom about her experience as a refugee...tears rolled down her eyes because she never thought that her son would ever ask about her story" -Larry Xuan Bach
"DAMN those are a lot of questions. Why do I have to ask WHY I didn't have the things that other people have" -Son Chau
"It sucks and unfair to think that my sister wouldn't be able experience SASC SI because we have a 'budget' " -Tracy Nguyen
"I came to SASC SI as a nobody and I left as a SOMEBODY. If ME being HUMANIZED because of SASC SI isn't a good enough reason for yall to fund us...then I don't know what will" -Stephanie Yang
Nuff' Said yalls...you are my constant reminder of why we do what we do. YOU are the makers of magics who stitch dreams and hopes into the young minds of today...so that they too, can be come the dream weavers of tomorrow [words of Mr. Seaty] Folks who stood by our side tonight...you too, spoke very loudly for our community and YOU are the reason that many lives will continue to be changed and many soles will continue to be inspired.
Lastly...you remind me that there's still hope for a better tomorrow.
I have so much love and respect for yall.
