Representation In Political Campaigns // with Run AAPI Executive Director Linh Nguyen
Description
Working in the political sphere always felt highly appealing to me. It’s a sport, literally. A game of chance, preparation, handshakes and most of all, resources. The ultimate match of positioning meets gumption. Whenever I meet someone who is young, vibrant, attuned and overall badass conquering the inner working of the political space it’s a clear moment for pause. Enter in someone I have admired from afar for sometime but finally had the privilege of sitting down with, Run AAPI Executive Director and political consultant, Linh Nguyen.
Linh’s light work includes heading up Run AAPI as executive director, an organization centered around getting young AAPI voters registered and invested in politics for their future by rewriting the cultural and political narrative on what it means to be AAPI in America. She is also a political consultant that spends time helping California’s Governor Newsom navigate the state’s disaster relief. She’s worked in the election field steering campaigns for Cory Booker, Hilary Clinton + many others. As a fellow Asian American woman, we dig into so many of the notions held against us, our parallel struggles and LOLZ about the many contradictions that you are faced with when navigating the political space. You can catch her on MSNBC or one of many other top-tier outlets lending her expertise to the world at large.
My dog blows it up in the cast a few times, gotta love the living, working, making art at home life! Enjoy it, one of my faves to date and she is BADASS.
