An Immigrants journey to public office
Amanda emigrated from Taiwan at the age of nine and this is when her American journey began. After making her way through school, she got married and moved to Chicago’s Logan Square area. Amanda soon fell in love with her neighborhood. Unfortunately, she also noticed a lack of local voices speaking up on community issues. Fairly quickly, Amanda found herself organizing neighbors and taking on leadership roles.
