Replying to @cleeprof
Thanks @UBCACAM for chance to reflect on my time in Vancouver. It has been an honour being part of this vibrant community, serving as @UBC Univ. Ambas., @PchcMoM Pres., on @kpassiton Board, etc. Though my official roles are ending, I will aways be their cheerleader.👏🏼 Au revoir!

This means so much to me, Chris. Thank you! Alice, Paul, Mary Chun, the singers, all the people who stepped in to pull off the concert setting –– I saw a whole community spring to life and fight to make sure this music, and its Hoisan world, could be heard.

Today, we are very sad to hear about the passing of @MaracleLee. She was an inspiring author and fierce activist. From her first edition of I AM WOMAN, as Lee writes, "Enjoy."
