Happy Aloha Friday! HCJ is continuing its Friday h

Happy Aloha Friday! HCJ is continuing its Friday highlights this month of women who inspire our members, especially during Women’s History Month. Today, HCJ Director Kate Ozawa shares her thoughts on Michelle Yeoh.

“In case you haven’t been following her career since ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ in 2018, this past weekend, Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian and the second woman of color to win an Oscar for Best Actress. In 2008, Rotten Tomatoes declared her the greatest action heroine of all time. Her filmography stretches as far back as 1984. She is truly a woman I aspire to be like one day.”

Michelle Yeoh has demonstrated versatile acting skills and resilience in the film industry for decades as AANHPI actors, actresses, filmmakers, and the likes have tried to break through the bamboo ceiling. Her other passion is being an ambassador for humanitarian work around the world, using her abundant resources and influence to address dire needs. One of her quotes reminds us that we each have an ability to make the world a better place: “There is so much we can do to save lives on our roads.”

Let us know how Michelle Yeoh inspires YOU and which other women have positively impacted your life!

In light of Women’s History Month, HCJ wants to

In light of Women’s History Month, HCJ wants to highlight women on Fridays this month who’ve made an impact on our HCJ members. Today, HCJ Director Gregory Loui shares his thoughts on his popo, the late Florence J. Chinn. To read more about her, visit the link in our bio!

“My Popo was the strongest person I knew. She was fierce and stubborn and always had to have the last word in an argument. She had the kind of inner strength that allowed her to not just survive but thrive throughout her tumultuous life. Even after enduring racism, misogyny, divorce and a brain tumor, my Popo would always find a way to succeed, never satisfied with mediocrity. I like to think I inherited a small portion of her strength. I hope to one day live up to her legacy.”
