“I prefer “kui” (佢) or she/they as a pronoun about me. In my native Cantonese language, “kui” is a non-binary gender neutral pronoun. I join the HOPE centre as an ally committed to social justice and equity. I look forward to working with passionate and compassionate colleagues to reduce preventable health disparities among LGBTQ+ communities through research and policy initiatives.”
