AAUW Honolulu Branch
UPDATE: The September 15th AAUW Book Group Zoom meeting is CANCELLED, but we will regroup in October. With the Mayor's order requiring employees and customers of restaurants to be vaccinated or have a negative COVID test, hopefully in October we will feel it's safe enough to meet in person, enjoy a bite to eat and talk about a great book. A new date, venue and Book Selection will be announced via the AAUW Website and Social Media accounts soon.In the meantime, on the evening of September 15th at 6:00 p.m. AAUW at UHM and the UH-Manoa Office of Civic and Community Engagement are hosting a virtual viewing of the movie "Suffragette."RSVP here: go.hawaii.edu/PYS ...

AAUW Honolulu Branch
Are you subscribed to our AAUW Honolulu branch e-newsletter? This month, Raven Sevilleja was featured as a new branch member. Raven Sevilleja serves as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the City and County of Honolulu and is a graduate of UH Mānoa. Here's what Raven shared with AAUW Honolulu about why she became a member: "Funny enough, I am pretty busy with my caseload and the shortage of prosecutors we have, but I do my best to make volunteering in my community for various passions of mine a top priority. There is only so much time, and so much more to do. A lot of what I do in my career gives me a sense of purpose, but I find that giving back in areas where I have been passionate and excited about in the past really puts things into a healthy perspective for me. Feminism and awareness of women’s issues, mental health and wellness advocacy, and representation as a Filipina-American (and all the dimensions that come with that, like being a daughter of immigrants and first in my generation to make it through university and law school) are just a few areas of my life that I consistently want to improve upon, grow, and learn to be better, overall. That requires an investment of time and resources that I’m more than willing to give. I was taught to always pay homage to one’s roots, and I would not have the joy of living the life I have today if it weren’t for the people that stepped up in my life so that I could have a platform that I too could stand on. In short, volunteering my time to a cause (or causes) alongside like-minded people is the absolute least I can do. I thoroughly enjoy my career in public service, and that dedication to our community extends to my private life beyond being a prosecutor. I truly want to be of service, and I’m hopeful my unique experiences and skills can be useful to someone, somewhere! I’m very enthusiastic about your goals and vision for AAUW, and I’d love to learn from others on how we can make your ideas a reality. I can’t wait to meet the AAUW members!" ... See MoreSee Less

Jennifer Li Dotson is Vice President of Philanthropy at The National Bureau of Asian Research, and a participant in this year's Social Change Ambassador Certification program."During the session on Dominant Culture and Unconscious Bias, I was presented with the following riddle:“A father and son were involved in a car accident in which the father was killed and the son was seriously injured. The father was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident and his body was taken to a local morgue. The son was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital and was immediately wheeled into an emergency operating room. A surgeon was called. Upon arrival and seeing the patient, the attending surgeon exclaimed “Oh my God, it’s my son!’ Can you explain this?”In my small group cohort, I had the opportunity to share my answer and I found out that I was wrong! How could this be? I really consider myself a person that is tuned in to the stereotypes that affect my understanding of situations. However, I became acutely aware that my biases were indeed activated involuntarily without my awareness. Fortunately, this amazing program provided a very safe environment to discuss and share perspectives through a very interactive learning process. It has been a wonderful experience that has inspired me and gifted me several new friendships.P.S. If you would like to find out the answer to the riddle, please connect with me on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/nonprofitmom808. I would love to have a conversation with you!” ... See MoreSee Less
