Vinh Lê

Hello, my name is Vinh Lê! I am a third year Psychology major, and an intern at the Lotus Mana Center. 

There is a saying within the Vietnamese community; có thực mới vực được đạo, which roughly translates to “you cannot preach to the hungry man”. I believe advocacy begins before words, that it lies in spaces that are created and protected, between individuals who are empowered and supported. I hope to embody the Lotus Mana Center’s values of connectedness, academic success, and empathy with all.
