Elisabeth (Libby) is a NYC native, raised in Fresh Meadows, Queens. Libby is Chinese-American and grew up in a Chinese church environment, before joining The Gathering Harlem. She is an early childhood educator with a specialization in special education. This year she started teaching her own pre-kindergarten class at the Harlem Children’s Zone, a leading charter school in Harlem. Libby previously served as the Kids Team Director at The Gathering Harlem. We discuss her experience of race in church, the education system as well as the myth of Asians as the "model minority."
