May 25, 2022: Intergenerational Conversations: A Roundtable with Asian American Islanders

ONE MI, Do The Work MI and the Mercer Island High School's Education Coalition for Asian American Representation (ECAAR) present an Intergenerational Conversation with Asian Americans of Mercer Island, moderated by Islander Maggie Tai Tucker.

Maggie Tai Tucker is an occupational therapist who is currently enrolled in the MSW (master's of social work) program at Fordham University. Maggie Tai has an MOT degree and undergraduate degrees in U.S. history/literature and zoology. In her professional capacity, Maggie Tai strives to help clients find their unique voice and use it to explore the meanings they place on their and their family's experiences. She has been a community organizer and volunteer for more than 20 years, the last 10 of them on Mercer Island. Maggie Tai is in her third year serving on the Mercer Island School Board.

This intergenerational conversation will explore differing perceptions around academic achievement, body image and social norms; roundtable participants come from the diverse Asian American community of Mercer Island. This is the second event sponsored by the City of Mercer Island's Community Conversations on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
