Kimberley Wong | 黄壯慈 (they/them) is the Program Manager at hua foundation. In their role, Kimberley designs resources for anti-racism education, builds solidarity across racialized communities, and forges paths to access culturally-appropriate mental health care for youth facing barriers. They served as a Co-Chair of the City of Vancouver’s Chinatown municipal advisory committee and were a founding member and Vice President of Chinatown Today. Kimberley is also an appointed member of the Province of British Columbia’s Provincial Committee on Anti-Racism. Their work often mirrors their experiences moving through spaces as a queer, neurodivergent, and fifth generation Cantonese diasporic person, and though they draw on their knowledge from over a decade of navigating precarious work environments in the arts, culture, political, and equity sectors, Kimberley’s work is also deepened by their love of being a lifelong crafter, a triathlete, and a descendant whose ancestors have long histories organizing for marginalized populations on unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh land known colonially as Vancouver.
When they’re not working, you can find them swimming, biking, and running around East Van in preparation for their next triathlon, lugging around tools to various friend’s homes playing the role of fix-it uncle, or cozy at home indulging in one of their partners' culinary creations and a bottle of natural wine.
Kimberly is currently part of the SEARA Advisory Network.
