How little I know

Have you ever had moments when you ask yourself how little you know about life or your work? I had one of those moments today when I was sitting among a group of scholars, community activists, and educators who was brainstorming a symposium on Asian Pacific Islanders celebrating community organizing against injustice and raising awareness on taboo issues. As I was listening to this young Asian American queer woman activist spoke about the process of a desired outcome in measuring the success of a symposium, I realize there's so much I need to learn about organizing and activism. Wisdom and knowledge are not confined by age. That's why learning is endless. It is humbling and inspiring for me to be in the presence of people who can help me reflect and question - what is it that I am not doing to improve myself?
