Hello, this is Hanry from the Career Team. I am interested in the DEI related issues in the workplace and wanted to contribute more on promoting the DEI concepts for corporates. Please feel free to hit me up for a coffee chat or just a simply catch up if you would like to learn more what we can help with.

Hi :) I'm a science person becoming increasingly enamored with gender. The concept of it, the whole existence of it - confusing, fascinating, enthralling. I am excited to be getting more involved with it. I like watching video analyses of queer movies/ anime/ any media really and am always looking for more - recommendations please! Talk to me about any topic that interests you – recently I learned about the roots of languages, mind blown. I like knowing things and being involved - especially in the gender and sexuality area. I did not expect to find a queer community coming to Hong Kong and having found it, I look forward to contributing to it.

Hi! I am Alina from the Careers Team of QSA :D Existing in fandom-ish spaces since middle school made me friends with the concepts of queerness and nonconformity and made it clear why my favorite characters from childhood were Pleakley from Lilo&Stitch and Terk from Tarzan (I also loved Shrek, so yes, I am old :B). Currently I am interested in critical theory, essay books - both funny and sad, full of vulnerability and hope, and creating the opportunities for inclusive education. I hope that with QSA everyone will have the opportunity to feel included, so don't miss out on events planned for this year!

Besides declaring his sex orientation, Lon believes being part of the LGBTQ+ community is making a change. QSA is a place where he feels comfortable to meet all walks of life and grow the community. While he might look serious, you might find a soft heart inside :)) Always up for a drink and stories~

Hi everyone :)) I'm Yauvani and a part of QSA's Career Team this year! I've always been deeply passionate about advocating for the LGBTQ+ community and their rights, and my interest only further deepened after I took up a minor in gender studies. I really discovering new places and travelling, curling up with a good book, watching movies, and going for runs. Always down for a chat, especially if it involves food!
