It’s an honor of my lifetime to represent the Chen Lok Lee Legacy Project, and to continue to share his goodness with the world that he left behind. While a college student at Tufts University, my father visited me and was a guest lecturer for a Chinese painting demonstration that I helped to organize in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage month. I was so thrilled to learn that his work is still gracing the rooms of the Asian American Center on campus. Read the full story here to understand how I am weaving together my family’s Asian American identities to develop my career and the Chen Lok Lee Legacy Project. My full gratitude goes to all of my mentors, professors and dear friends at Tufts University who encouraged me to lean into my heritage and make a change for our communities. As a professor, my father knew how important it was to plant the seeds in students, and then help to nourish them so that they can grow up to be the best versions of themselves. He never hesitated to share his expertise when I asked him to come and teach the students on my campus. He was always willing and generous with his knowledge and time. I hope that all of the students who have the benefit of enjoying his art work on campus will be strengthened and nourished.
