Cecilia Chung is a national transgender rights, HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ+, and social justice activist from Hong Kong. Chung immigrated to California with her family, where she later made a home for herself in San Francisco. Her service and advocacy have been prominent since the early 1990s, when she had begun to establish her voice in various community interest groups.
She has continually made space as a representative for Asian American transgender folks and those who live with HIV as the first transgender woman for both the Board of Directors of the San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Celebration and San Francisco Human Rights Commission. Her extensive community engagement within the LGBTQ+ space has allowed her to amplify the voices of others, as well as educate non-LGBTQ+ folks who are looking to better support their neighbors, family, and friends.
In this episode of Asian Voices Radio, our host Hula Ramos and co-host Linda Schwartz create a space for Cecilia Chung's personal experiences and advice for those of the LGBTQ+ communities and its allies. Together they explore Ms. Chung's work, how to better understand and show up for one another, and what we can do to amplify the voices of our community.
