Hi everyone! My name is Mia Gagliardi and I am a Chinese American who lives in NJ.  I am passionate about amplifying Asian American voices. I had always struggled with my identity. I am one of the very few Asians in my school and town. I was ashamed about my culture for the entirety of my childhood. I started to accept my culture and began looking for online organizations where I could meet people like me. My DMs are always open.
