Sharon Yam | A Hong Kong academic in the US —“We need to document our own history”

Sharon is a 30-year-old professor at the University of Kentucky, who teaches and researches politics and rhetoric. At a place with few Hongkongers nearby, she finds every possible way to stand with Hong Kong: from getting an umbrella tattoo on her arm, to advocating for the social movement in Hong Kong through teaching and public speaking.
