Congratulations to Txuj Ci HMong Language and Culture Lower Campus Principal May Lee Xiong for being selected for the presitigous 2024 Bush Foundation fellowship. Bush Fellows are leaders who are already doing amazing things in their communities — and they have big ideas for what more is possible. Xiong is reimagining education to support Black, Indigenous and people of color to thrive in schools that celebrate their diverse identities. She grew up feeling disconnected from her own Hmong culture. After hearing the stories of her resilient immigrant parents, she began to truly embrace her heritage. With her Bush Fellowship, she will seek ways to deepen her understanding of language revitalization and build her skills to advocate for transformative changes in public education.
