Kim Wu was born in 1988 in Queens, New York City, where she grew up. Multiple generations of her Taiwanese family lived together under one roof – and in their neighborhood they were one of just a few Asian-American families. Kim met Baha'is in college, where she became a Baha'i, and today she works as an educator, trainer and facilitator for community programs. Today she lives in Los Angeles, where she works at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, managing a national training project for school communities.
1.Growing up Chinese-American in Queens
We lived in a home with several generations under one roof – but outside everyone was from different backgrounds.
2.Meeting Baha’is in action
You can be pulled in many directions at college – my Baha’i friends showed me that faith and action go together.
3.Bridging communities of color through service
First Nations Baha’is offered community-building activities to their friends and neighbors – even the prayers were in Navajo.
4.The intersection of race, class and young people
The Baha’i junior youth program helps develop powers of expression – so that young people become aware of injustice and how to address them.
