I derive my social justice worldview from my grandpa (and grandma) based on their experience of unjust internment during WWII. Their response, one of dignity and respect, left a lasting impression on me and has deeply impacted my personal and professional path. My commitment to be a voice of equity and justice is inspired by my grandpa. One of many quiet lessons I learned from him. Although I will miss him very much, I carry his inspiration with me as I continue in my own professional path.
