Malia Hansen '26
Malia (they/them pronouns “for now”) is a third-year Critical Diversity Studies major and identifies as Japanese, Native Hawaiian, and Tongan all at once. We are thrilled to have Malia in our first cohort of AAPI Leadership Fellows! In our spotlight, they share how they understand some of the complexities and tension of the term AAPI.
