Thank you so much, Mark! I am glad you have also been able to enjoy your time in Australia. :)

Thank you so much, Audrea! For me, as the work I do at SpeakOut goes hand-in-hand with the research I did last summer, it honestly feels like a good transition. Given my research, I was able to garner a better understanding of Afghan migration and working with SpeakOut on various projects for Afghan Australians and other immigrant groups has been incredible, as I get to be in service for a group that I have learned about previously.

I really liked reading your post, Phoebe. Thinking back to last summer during our Laidlaw Leadership Retreat, there are so many types of leadership, and "leading from behind" is just as important as others. I also found Xiao Qian's story to be very inspiring, as she chose what she loved to do in service of others. Hope you have a good rest of your LiA!

This sounds amazing, Audrea! I really appreciate your reflection on how AI impacts photography. I remember from our shared cohort last year, you would always provide us with amazing updates from photographing various parts of NYC's Fuzhounese community, and now, this LiA seems perfect post that summer. Hoping you have a good rest of your LiA!

The work you do at SOS sounds so lovely, Lily! I love how many projects you guys do with the children at SOS. I am sure it is really nice to interact with them and help them all.
