                    freedom." 

                   -Minh Dang

AAPI women named a Champion of 

Change by President Barack Obama. 

More recently in April of 2017, Minh 

delivered the inspiring and thought 

provoking presentation:"Who's shame is 

it anyway?" to a diverse mix of over  1500 

attendees that included students, 

professors and thought leaders.

Advisory Council on Human Trafficking
