"I loved the format - it felt like a true conversation. Also within that short time, it felt like the listeners got an entry into each panelist's area of interest/practice. I especially loved how each one was passionate about their specific roles but were also interested in possibilities of collaboration. I also thought you did a terrific job of weaving through the conversation and keeping it very “present” which is often hard to do in a virtual space. Just sharing what comes to my mind, without editing 🤓"

"Hello Hello! I’m very grateful we met and that I got to learn from you. You facilitated an amazing experience for the participants. Very grateful to hear your expertise! Your quote made me reflect on what is our role in meeting the needs of our students. So, thank you for inspiring us to be community-minded! You do such great work!"

"I’m going to use this quote from you in my next tribal meet up: “If my people ask me for fire, I'm not giving them water!” Loved it. Loved everything about your presentation. I really admire what you're doing, how you're giving space, voice and opportunity."

"Hi Jin-Ya, I'm so glad I talked with you. I felt like your words really touched me, and especially at this time in my life because I'm not having the best relationship with my family right now. And you showed me that I'm in charge of what I want from my life."

"Honestly I've never met another Asian Woman who openly admitted that they are a domestic violence survivor, let alone share this on an open stage out loud. Thank you for being so brave on the panel, I now know I can speak up for myself and get help for me to save myself."

"Jin-Ya, I have wanted to message you so many times to say, "thank you." Finally today I have the courage to do so. Approximately four years ago you talked to me about white privilege and I ignorantly responded with some remark about my own humble background. I want to thank you for that conversation and to tell you that your words helped launch me into a journey to learn more, understand my white privilege and take steps to help others have opportunity. I left the university and went to work for a nonprofit and have been raising money to help provide young underserved adults (18 to 29 year-olds) a pathway toward education, training and a career. I just wanted to say, "thank you" for your honest conversation and for not hanging up on me that day. It must be exhausting talking with people (like me) and yet you took a deep breath and moved on with the conversation. You make a difference in ways you may not realize, so thank you. And if you would ever like to talk to students about your life journey and the work you are doing in this community, please let me know. We would be honored to have you as a guest speaker to our young adults."

"You are making “belonging a thing”!... Thank you for inspiring, for your tireless dedication to community, for filling in the gaps, raising up women alongside, spreading goodness, and for all your unseen sacrifices. You yourself are your mother’s beautiful legacy, paying it forward with action, inclusion and grace."
