Friends of Little Saigon Community Conversation

Curated and organized a community gathering in partnership with Friends of Little Saigon to celebrate the wisdom and leadership of long-standing community leaders in Seattle’s Little Saigon neighborhood.
Facilitated a multi-generational conversation exploring the past, present, and future of Little Saigon, with particular attention to the evolving needs of Seattle’s Chinatown–International District. The gathering brought together community leaders, advocates, and philanthropic partners to reflect on neighborhood resilience, cultural preservation, and strategies for philanthropy to more effectively support community-led development and small business sustainability.
This event exemplified the intersection of community organizing and philanthropic practice that defines Juliet’s work—creating spaces where elders, advocates, and funders come together in authentic dialogue about the future of culturally significant neighborhoods.
