Before Asian Pacific American Heritage Month comes to a close at the end of the month of May, our Thai CDC Executive Director, Chancee Martorell, was one of the API individuals recognized for her work on behalf of disadvantaged and vulnerable members of the Thai community on a program that aired on May 28th, 2021, on LA Cityview Channel 35 where she was interviewed by Councilmember Mitch O’ Farrell whose council district includes Thai Town. Here is a video of the program which also showed the Thai community’s Stop API Hate March and Rally that took place in Thai Town on April 8, 2021. Photos of the interview at the LA Cityview studio are also included.
