Hello!
I’m excited to joining you all as the Leadership Development Associate for Youth and Young Adults of Color. I’m also a UU minister, born and raised in the Midwest and South, Vietnamese-American, lover of hot pot, college football and justice.
I’m so glad to be building on Rev. Monica Cummings’ powerful work supporting youth and young adults of color at our UUA. One highlight of that is that the application for Multicultural Leadership School: A Gathering for UU Youth and Young Adults of Color is LIVE!
MLS this year is July 10-14th, 2015 at the Walker Center outside of Boston, MA. Spread the the word to youth + young adults of color! Particularly this year it will be good to be together – to get connected to spirit, each other, and to the power of our own leadership in these uncertain, broken times.
I’ll be blogging at Blue Boat, so whether you’re a youth or young adult of color, a religious professional looking to better serve youth and young adults of color, or another seeker on the journey, check out the Mosaic section on Blue Boat for up-to-date announcements, resources, and stories + images to nurture your spirit!
I can also always be reached at yayaofcolor@uua.org.
with love and faith,
Rev. Elizabeth Nguyen
