This June, during Pride Month, we're hoping coming together and create an event call dreams of tomorrow for an event that's close to my heart—an event dedicated to shedding light on issues like depression, suicide, and the LGBTQ+ experience. These are challenges I've faced personally, and they're the driving force behind my advocacy.

Last year, I competed for Mr. Hmong Royalty and was honored to place second. My platform was—and still is—to speak up for those who feel unheard, to represent people like me. As a transgender man, I've faced ridicule and struggled for acceptance. I know the pain of not being embraced for who you are, and I believe many young people are fighting this same battle.

To give voice to our stories, I've written a song that reflects my journey. It's more than just lyrics; it's a call to action. I'm inviting high school students to create short films inspired by this song, and I'm personally offering a $500 prize for the best film, as selected by my panel of judges. As well a $500 for the best speech essay for suicide prevention.

But that's not all. We'll be joined by an array of LGBTQ+ guest speakers who have inspired me, who will share their experiences and offer words of wisdom to the next generation. As well as blend our diverse together.

This is why, we are in need of a space to make this project of mine happen.

Please let me know if you're interested in more details. Together, we can make this event not just a conversation, but a beacon of hope for those who need it.
