BioCeline Qin is a globally-recognized, award-winning youth changemaker, public speaker, and social activist. Born and raised in California as a daughter to Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants, she is a multi-time social impact founder and community organizer centering racial justice, immigrant rights, multicultural solidarity, and anti-carceral youth equity and life development. In 2026, she became 1 of 20 top U.S. female founders selected by Vital Voices Global Partnership as a Grassroots Voices Fellow, investing in women leaders as “venture catalysts” and bold justice visionaries. As a speaker to now a cumulative audience of 400,000+ youth across 171+ countries worldwide, Celine empowers young people to come forth with their stories and reimagine society in their greatest vision.
At just 13 years old, Celine established The Reclamation Project, a non-profit grassroots organization spearheading youth-led movements for systems-change, equity, and liberation within her home state and across the globe. Under her vision as Executive Director, The Reclamation Project has mobilized 270,000+ community members, successfully directed 280+ events, campaigns, and projects, and built a coalition of 2,000+ youth mentees, 175+ social and civic organizational partners, and 250+ volunteers since its start in 2020. With 7+ years of active involvement in changemaking and advocacy, BIPOC and immigrant/refugee youth empowerment, and multicultural social development at grassroots, national, and global scales, Celine’s high-impact leadership mirrors her unwavering mission of societal transformation through innovation, learning, and intention. She has advised nearly $20 million dollars in grants and private and government partnerships to empower youth and establish life-affirming resource networks in historically-underrepresented communities, including directly procuring and reinvesting $600,000+ towards multicultural civic advocacy and leadership development programs for young leaders of racial minority, low-income, immigrant/refugee, and other traditionally-overlooked backgrounds.

Min'ao Qin
Undergraduate, Continuing Studies and Summer Session
BioHi, I’m Min’ao Qin, but feel free to call me Frank. I’m a high school student at the Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, International Division. I’m deeply interested in history, political science, and global affairs—basically, anything that helps me understand how the world works. On campus, I’m also a tenor, composer, and music producer, so you’ll often find me making or performing music. When I’m not in the classroom or studio, I’m probably on the court—basketball’s my favorite, but I also play baseball and swim.

Tairan Qiu
Assistant Professor of Education
BioI, 邱泰然, Tairan Qiu (she/her/她), am an Assistant Professor of English Language Arts and Literacy Education in the Graduate School of Education. Prior to my doctoral studies, I was an ELA and ESOL teacher. As a transnational migrant and East Asian woman, my research is at the intersection of language, literacy, culture, race, gender, and im/migration. My research agenda is oriented around critically unpacking the dynamic language and literacy practices of transnational youth and families, centering their stories and experiences to shape research-informed change in their schools, communities, and homes, and sustaining their whole cultural, linguistic, and literate repertoire.
I am committed to working in and with historically marginalized communities through community-centered research, teaching, and service. For example, funded by the Community Literacies Collaboratory, I am the co-founder of the University of Houston-Project Row Houses Community Literacies Center in Third Ward, Houston, TX. This arts-based Community Literacies Center offers weekly multiliteracies events for predominantly Black, Asian, Latiné, and translingual children, youth, and caregivers, where they celebrate their vibrant literacy practices in community with one another. Currently, I am working with a collective of nine transnational Girls of Color to narrate their transnational and translingual literacies and advocacy in and across their respective communities. -
