Women's empowerment, sharing immigrant stories, and self growth through entrepreneurship is REAL impact. Impact that is close to my heart and was dear to my niece –– who I miss so much everyday.
@ReynaSong1 said the proposal should have an actual impact on our community. how does building a statue make an impact on our community? we should be honoring Laura through real action that protects marginalized communities and doesn't just put up a statue!! #chtown19
@fix_immigration Telling our immigrant stories, allowing immigrant families to build their names through entrepreneurship, and empowering women are all very REAL impactful actions. Ones that are close to my heart and very important to my niece –– who I miss so much every day.
I’m so happy that @EugeneLiLA will be joining us. I’m sure he will provide an important perspective similar to that of Mayor Maria. I’m hopeful that the proposals today will reflect the ideals of these hard working, self-made women. #chtown19
This past week has been tumultuous to say the least. However, we must stay strong, and focus on our mission at hand -- honoring Laura and Mayor Maria's memory. With that, I'm happy to announce that @EugeneLiLA will be joining the committee. #chtown19

Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving break! So excited to finalize proposals on Wednesday with other CalU faculty members and support our students with scholarships & other programs. @ISprofCalu@u_latin@celinewangcalu@ISfacCalu
I am still in shock at this atrocity. Thank you Mayor Rodriguez for your leadership and service♥️ You were a constant advocate for our community. I hope this assassin is brought to justice, and I pray that her family finds peace. Sending thoughts and prayers. #chtown19
@ChinatowngameL@SamWallton4@AlexSongCTown My husband @AlexSongCTown
and I are not standing with any one corporate entity. We are standing for our niece and trying to honor her work and passion for her community in the best way possible.
My wife said it best, "this is about her." Please, let's focus on the legacy Laura will leave behind via this grant rather than frivolous details about her personal life.
This is not the conversation we want to be having, a conversation in honor of Laura. Like my husband said this is about social impact. I hope everyone asks themselves -- what is best for us as a community, just as my niece would.
I'm hurt by all the personal questions being asked by the media today. Laura's romantic life isn't the focus of today. It's taking away from the social impact we're trying to create here. Is this journalism or is this paparazzi? #chtown19

I hope the community remembers that the things they care about are strongly intertwined with the entities they are quick to target. The Chinatown pageant is a staple to maintaining our heritage — and the pageant cannot happen without our local businesses which we should support.
Thank you Zheng for those kind words. I know how much Laura admired you, and appreciate you underlining my own sentiment — this is about her. NOT those who are trying to make it about themselves while claiming they “loved” Laura.
As a Chinatown community, we should ask where our strength comes from? Our community's strength has come largely from our community leaders, including our business leaders. We should remember to not lose our heads in this emotionally turbulent time and seek out the truth.
To honor Laura's memory, I'm excited to be heading the committee for the Yelin Song foundation. I'm glad to be joined by my wife @reynasong1 & @MarcyCho9 @PresidentP11 @AndyGee88824566#chtown19
