Did you mistake me for a “submissive, quiet, docile, Asian woman”? I earned this PhD to become a professional troublemaker.

I WROTE A BOOK!!! Patterns That Remain combines storytelling, history, and research to provide a practical framework to heal diasporic wounds, break intergenerational trauma patterns, and achieve secure attachment as people, partners, and parents. Check it out and get your copy!

@VeritasMSYWu I celebrate by voting

@DrStaceyLitam Do you celebrate or?

Happy Existential Dread Eve

The ancestors came through! I feel immensely grateful for the opportunity to discuss the value of mental health services at the The White House Filipino American History Month Celebration. @WhiteHouse @WHIAANHPI

@DrKLClemons They sleep until 11am!

@DrStaceyLitam 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ok mine is this: My 3 year old at 3am: Mommy I want to watch Mickey Mouse Me: he’s asleep. So are Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, & Pluto. Good back to bed.

Me Before Children: “I will never lie to my kids. I’ll just use logic and rationale and they will understand because I’m treating them with respect.” Me Five Minutes Ago: “Mickey Mouse just called and said he won’t open up the park until you eat breakfast and go potty.”

Thanks for the shoutout, @CLE_State!

I had a wonderful time presenting our session, “Mapping the Barriers of Older LGBTQ+ Asian Americans: Applying Intersectionality to Deconstruct Relationships Among Ageism, Heterosexism, and Racism” alongside Dr. @christianxderek at the @AADA1986 conference!

It was such an honor to serve as a keynote speaker for the 2024 Montana Summer Institute. Together, we cultivated brave spaces and learned to lead with spirit.

A loving reminder that you are exactly where you need to be, and who you need to be, right now in this moment. Extend the same kindness and compassion to yourself that you give so freely to others.

My favorite part about @Costco samples is pretending I’ve never seen a meatball before.

My heart is full after connecting with likeminded individuals with a shared passion for health equity. I was a panelist for two sessions that explored strategies to leverage clinical opportunities in public health, policy, academia, and private sectors. @samhsagov @NBCCFoundation

@DrBlackDeer Not at all. Protect your peace!

@kktyson Love this for you! Moving our bodies are such incredible ways to promote physical, sexual, and psychological well-being! 👏🏽

Is what you’re doing today getting you closer to the person you want to be tomorrow?

It was an absolute pleasure to facilitate a training for the @ClevGuardians this afternoon! Together, we explored how intergenerational cultural scripts impact our workplace behaviors and identified specific strategies to better empower our communities.

It’s always such a pleasure to publish alongside my dear colleague and friend, Dr. @christianxderek. I am thrilled to add this important intersectional framework to the extant body of literature on Asian American, LGBTQ+, and aging identities!

@DrBlackDeer Truly inspirational. Cheers to many more years!

Honored to provide the keynote for @cwru’s Asian American Pacific Island Heritage Month and Cultural Festival! Hope to see many of you there. 💙 🇵🇭
