⇌漢
The Second Thought Project (https://secondthoughtproject.com) is an ongoing learning journey focused on social justice. It offers notes, thoughts, reflections, conversations, and toolkits to support this journey.
The project is driven by the perspectives of being an educator, BIPOC, and a parent who believes in humanity. I aim to plant seeds of hope, change, dignity, and integrity, fostering a world of understanding and practicing social justice to create a peaceful life.

Writings between 2022 and 2024
by Amy Chua & Amy Tan
“DO YOU KNOW WHAT A FOREIGN ACCENT IS?
IT’S A SIGN OF BREWERY.”
“Language is not just a means of communication; it is a reflection of who we are and where we come from.”
“Through language, we connect with others and share our stories, experiences, and humanity.”“Don’t judge a book by its cover, or someone’s intelligence by her English.”
“Embracing our mother tongue is an act of self-empowerment and a celebration of our cultural identity.”
“Our mother tongue is not just a language; it is a part of our soul.”
“Language shapes our identity and influences our perception of the world.”
“Language is the essence of our humanity. It is what sets us apart and brings us together.”
