How to Save Lives with a Pen, Paper, and Hope with Diana Chao, Founder and Executive Director of Letters to Strangers
Manage episode 327890950 series 3347030
Dear Stranger, I finally love myself. Love, Me… Who would have thought that writing a letter to an unknown someone somewhere in the world could bring you comfort and warmth. From living in poverty as an immigrant in a new country to struggling with mental illness and bouts of blindness, Diana cultivated her hope and recovery through writing letters to strangers around the world.
Diana Chao is the founder and executive director of Letters to Strangers, a global youth-run organization that seeks to destigmatize mental illness and increase access to affordable, quality treatment. Outside of mental health advocacy, Diana published a novel at age 13, receiving recognition from the U.S. Navy for her research on dengue fever at 16, worked for NASA and became the only girl in California to receive the 2016 Presidential Scholar Award at 17, became a special columnist for the American Astronomical Society at 18, was admitted to Princeton to study physics at 19, and even found time to create her own Vogue-featured photography studio along the way.
