This week’s conversation is with Kate Yeung Ching Yung (she/her) who works as a Project Officer for MYAN, the Multicultural Youth Advocacy Network. MYAN is an Australian non-profit that works in partnership with young people, government, and civil society to promote the rights and interests of young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds and ensure these are recognised in policy and practice.
Originally from Mauritius and now based in Melbourne, Kate first came to Australia in 2019 for university graduating with majors in Drama and International Relations and a minor in Policy and Politics.
My thanks to Nadine Liddy who connected me with Rana Ebrahim, MYAN’s National Manager who introduced me to Kate.
Our conversation covered a variety of topics including Kate’s journey into social advocacy, her move to Australia and examples of MYAN’s advocacy work with young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. Kate reflected on the importance of young people having a platform, her own sense of power to challenge injustices and her vision for a better world.
