Monthly AIA Spotlight ? Meet Hung Le HUNG LE Creative Director at BIEN How has being Asian impacted your career? Because English is my second language, I have had difficulty being taken seriously. Traditional Asian upbringing also never encourages people to speak or stand up for something. It has been transformative to offer my own perspective to empower others. Do you have any advice for the AAPI community? Our collective strength is our sense of community, which is inherent in our culture. It’s time we start empowering one another and creating real impact. ?? Want to be featured in our monthly showcase? Link in bio ?? https://lnkd.in/gqVM3ZAh #asiancommunity #monthlyspotlight
