The organization works on a national level, with resources being distributed on national, state, and local community levels. The work of the organization ties with both legislative decisions as well as judicial review of immigrant protections and rights, and so it would fit equally between legislative and judicial work, with the focus on being outcome-oriented. The purpose of the organization is to provide resources and research materials for advocates of immigrant women, children, and victims of abuse. In order to do so, the goals of the organization consist of providing resources to both victims while also creating shared community and resource spaces for advocates and legal officials. In terms of my specific internship duties, I have been primarily assisting with the web library this semester. The web library is the main database of all the resources that the organization publicly shares. This semester, I have compiled important as well as rare resources to support legal advocates in matters related to legislative history. I also have worked on their Bora 2 outreach system by approving and adding state and local organizations and their contact information to an online directory that victims can access.

As I think back to my goals when I first had the idea in August, and now reflecting on where I am, I realize that I have definitely changed in different ways as a leader and my understanding of myself and how I want to approach situations moving forward. For the future, I have identified a number of lessons, beyond the ones listed from the 1st reflection update, that I wish to remember in this reflection:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New ideas take time:\u00a0<\/strong>For my social action project, I had to pivot to a social media campaign for the outreach part of it since due to being virtual, working with other organizations or schools posed difficulties. At first, I found myself being nervous to do the switch, especially as it was not what I originally had in mind. However, after I made the switch, I felt more motivated about my project again, and wish that I had been confident in making that decision and leap of faith to move outreach in a new direction at an earlier point. I&#8217;ve always understood the importance of adapting, but in situations like this, when time is also to be considered, I&#8217;ve understood how important it is to keep time as a factor too because adapting and letting new ideas develop and take shape can take time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be decisive and trust yourself: <\/strong>Over the implementation phase, from choosing which cultures to focus on first to choosing a website creation platform, I had to make multiple decisions. Some times, these decisions were simple and quick, but other times, I felt conflicted, such as deciding which cultures to focus on at first, and felt bad that I had to choose and have such limited resources in comparison to all there is to learn about each culture since I was the sole person putting the website together. However, I realized that decision-making is rooted in trust, and I had to acknowledge that I had limited time and resources and know that this was a site in progress, not a final product. I consistently reminded myself of this so I could build trust in myself and in the process. I hope for future decisions, I can continue to support the internal trust as I make external decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>1st Update (03\/01\/2021):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year,\u00a0 although by name I was a student of American University in Washington, DC, my education took place in California. Due to the pandemic, I have received the chance to work and study from home, and as so, I realized that this could be a pivotal way for me to apply the skills and values I developed as a leader my freshman year in the SPA Leadership Program in the community I grew up in through my second-year social action project.<\/p>\n<p>My project revolves around the limited curriculum content available to students in the Bay Area regarding diversity. Most texts tend to be solely American or Eurocentric, with little to no exposure to other cultures around the world. Noticing this, I wanted to create an online platform that allows students and adults alike to be able to access, understand, and integrate knowledge regarding cultures and communities around the world to build more empathy and greater acceptance for different cultures.<\/p>\n<p>While working on this project, I learned many things about my community as well as myself as a leader. I outline them as followed in terms of goals I have moving forward and lessons I carry with me from the experience so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be bold:\u00a0<\/strong>Being a leader means sometimes doing things that might be new. Outreach to schools and organizations regarding a platform I made can be daunting, especially when communities may not respond as positively to it, but I am willing to embrace that risk so I can allow my project to garner more notice and help create an impact in the lives of others.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Think innovation, not just an invention: <\/strong>This website idea is not a completely new idea, and the versions I create will undoubtedly have flaws. However, what is important is that I can make continual improvements and work on what I have to shape it more finely, instead of trying to create something unheard of before.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reflect:\u00a0<\/strong>As a leader, it is important to always reflect on the process. Every few weeks, I make sure to set aside to reflect on my goals for this project and understand if any changes need to be made to those based on a change of priorities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimism is motivation:\u00a0<\/strong>For me to remain motivated and dedicated to this project, I must maintain my passion for it with optimism. This is a topic I am extremely interested in, and I hope I can continue to move forward with this same energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Individual Leadership Action Project 2nd Update (05\/01\/2021): As the semester end approaches, I have had the opportunity to reflect on my leadership project for this year (2020-2021), as well as what I have learned in the SPA-362 class itself too.

After serving on my school district&#8217;s Board of Trustees as the sole Student Board Member and representative for over 11,000 students, my interest in politics and representation only increased as I understood the power of a vote and a voice.

Through my research, I discovered that there was a lacking middle ground between the issues in integrating such concepts. Multiple schools did have some level of global cultural studies integrated in their lessons, but since the curriculums are so personalized to each school community, they are hard to replicate and can allow for bias within classrooms to reflect on the curriculum more easily. On the other side, there are general resources online which can avoid bias because the information is available for anyone to see and use and would be more subject to criticism if there was bias, however, these online resources tend to not be educational and categorize culture in more surface-level classifications without encouraging viewers to learn more about the depth and complexity of different cultures from countries around the world.<\/p>\n<p>After noticing a need for this middle ground and considering a number of metrics such as audience reach and feasibility, I decided to create a website that would be continually updated. It is to include resources to study different aspects of cultures around the world, such as literature and languages,\u00a0 but also be formatted such that the viewers are encouraged to understand the cultures beyond these simple categories. The goal of the website is to be a starting base for someone interested in other cultures, and learning how to be more respectful, aware, and understanding of different global cultures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/ib9117a\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1424\/2021\/05\/Policy-Memo-1.pdf\">Final Report (Policy Memo)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/ib9117a\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1424\/2021\/05\/Leadership-Project.pptx_.pdf\">Project Presentation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>For my soft-skill sample, I will be explaining my role in the Asian American Student Union, and application of soft skills across my different roles in the organization. My first position was during Spring 2020 when I took on the role of Digital Media Director. I built creative graphic designs to build more social media interaction and engagement, while constantly observing what designs gathered better responses. I also established strong relationships with members as I answered their questions through social media, which is one of the main medium of communications for the organization. For Fall 2020, I was Communications Director. In this role, it was required for me to be professional and timely in releasing biweekly newsletters to members, as I made a schedule of when and what to send and include for each newsletter. For the upcoming Spring 2021 semester, I will be taking on the role of a Co-President.<\/p>\n<p>Through graphic design, social media engagement, and newsletter publications, I was able to improve my communication and community-building skills as I learned to build my work off of the needs of the project and organization.
