Like every one of us who dream, plan, work, sweat, work, work, work, Asian American immigants and citizens also want “for the next generation, a better life.”
And often, their wanting and work ethic becomes a blessing for the communities in which they live. This is the very story of Jennifer Yue Barber, and her parents, who carried her home asleep after their restaurant closed nightly—with cooking burns on their hands and faces—keeping faith that their daughter would in fact have a better life while also continuing to contribute to community in her own way.
Jennifer is an attorney--a Kentucky native--who served in the U.S. Department of State as Special Advisor to the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, and as a United States Delegate to the 75th United Nations General Assembly where she delivered formal statements on behalf of the U.S. government, advised on foreign policy, and negotiated with other delegations to advance United States positions in the areas of human rights and humanitarian aid.
