PIVOT Fellow Spotlight - Ngan Tran
/Hello everyone, my name is Ngan, I was born in Vietnam and I grew up in Philadelphia. Being Vietnamese is a big part of my self-identity. I was not in a huge Vietnamese community growing up. However, when I was 17, I started to be more involved with the Vietnamese community in Philadelphia, and ever since then, I love working with the Viet community around me. Having a passion for language justice is one of the main reasons I applied to be a PIVOT fellow. I know politically I want to push the Vietnamese community more progressively, and with my language skill, I believe I have the power and the motivation to do so. After this fellowship, I wish to continue to further my relationship with Vietnamese organizers who I work with and thrive to become a better community organizer myself.
