Bright Blue Day is my name in Chinese and a nod to my mom who wished for me the joyful clarity and ease of a sunny sky. I try to embody my name with radical hope and believing in an abundance of possibility. 

I like to ask big questions, read books on or under blankets (Black feminist sci-fi to the top), and gather community through creative and playful ways. If I’m not playing tennis, I’m probably thinking about it.

I bring presence, curiosity, clarity and quick wit to my work & relationships. I think a lot about design and how to balance both purpose and play. I am rooted in a social justice analysis and meet people where they are at.

I’m committed to individual and communal growth to create and support the conditions for our collective liberation. “Yes/and” is an expression I often use to hold the complexity and simultaneous truths of being alive and in relationship.

I’m currently the co-director of the Giving Project Network, a collaborative of social justice foundations committed to resource organizing and alumni of the the Coaching for Healing Justice & Liberation certification program. I have been an organizer, facilitator, educator, coach and consultant for food justice and food access orgs, youth & arts orgs, culturally specific BIPOC orgs and conservation nonprofits.

I bring into coaching my identities as a mixed race, Chinese American, queer woman. I’ve been shaped by the expansive desert skies of my childhood and the abundant gardens and temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. I’m currently based in Portland, OR living with my sweet pup and lots of plants. While I’m anchored here, I do most of my work through Zoom.
