About the speaker:

Storytelling runs in Justina Chen’s blood. After all, her middle name means illuminate, which is what story does: it throws light on a message. Justina is a story strategist to leaders, an award-winning novelist, and the co-founder of Chen & Cragen. Her YA novels have won several accolades, including the Asian Pacific American Award for Literature. Justina's most recent novel for kids, WITH TWICE THE LOVE, DESSIE MEI, is a love letter to adoptees. 

"I absolutely adored WITH TWICE THE LOVE, DESSIE MEI. As a transracial Chinese adoptee, I found a mirror of reflection in the main characters. My inner child felt truly seen and heard!" --Alexa Orndahl, CAA Wonderwoman
