Chien-Chi Huang, Ready to Serve, Empower and Advocate on<br />
Behalf of Cancer Survivors<br />
CHIEN-CHI HUANG<br />
Chien-Chi Huang started the Asian Breast Cancer Project in 2010<br />
after receiving her own breast cancer diagnosis. The organization has<br />
since grown into Asian Women for Health, and Executive Director<br />
Huang continues to expand cancer prevention education in the<br />
community.<br />
<strong>ALIST</strong> Magazine: Looking back at where you were when you<br />
started this journey, where did you think it was going to lead<br />
you?<br />
Chien-Chi Huang: When I started Asian Women for Health<br />
(AWFH), I just wanted to help other Asian American women<br />
to get the information and support they need to lead a happy,<br />
healthy life. I strive to make AWFH an incubator for creating a<br />
pipeline of Asian female leaders as peer health educators, wellness<br />
coaches and community advocates.<br />
AM: How do you define success, and how do you measure up to<br />
your own definition?<br />
CH: I define success as knowing that what you do makes<br />
a difference in other's life. I am blessed to have plenty of<br />
opportunities of witnessing our impact in our program<br />
participants or even our volunteers' lives.<br />
AM: What do you worry about, and why?<br />
CH: I worry about the rise of nationalism and racism and how<br />
that divides our country and makes the world a terrible place to<br />
live for our children and their children.<br />
AM: If you won $20 million in the lottery, what would you do<br />
with the money?<br />
CH: I would invest in social impact companies and make<br />
wonderful memories with my loved ones.<br />
AM: If you could select one person from history and have them<br />
truthfully answer one question, who would you select and what<br />
is the question?<br />
CH: I would ask Sir Richard Branson: "How do you develop<br />
great leaders that inspire others to lead?"<br />
AM: What does <strong>ALIST</strong> Magazine mean to you?<br />
CH: <strong>ALIST</strong> is an important publication that sheds lights on<br />
issues concerning Asian Americans with insights from Asian<br />
American leaders.<br />
