I am a lived experience advocate and survivor of family violence, shaped by my identity as a woman of Chinese heritage. My journey through coercive control, emotional and physical abuse, and police misidentification—particularly during the perinatal period —has deeply shaped my approach to advocacy and education.
I understand how cultural expectations, language barriers, and fear of authority can silence survivors. I now use my voice to help others reclaim theirs.
As an educator, I believe education is one of the most powerful tools we have to break the cycle of abuse. It equips individuals with the knowledge and confidence to recognise harm, understand their rights, and seek support. It also plays a vital role in disrupting intergenerational patterns by teaching young people empathy, respect, boundaries, and healthy communication.
