LL+L Board Member Spotlight
Gene Yoon
Board Member since 2020
Current Board Treasurer
Please share why LL+L matters to you at this moment and why do you continue to be engaged on the board?
Look Listen and Learn TV matters to me because children of color are still having to experience and learn about age-appropriate racial and cultural conversations. LL+L’s intentional representation, culturally relevant content, and the promotion of healthy eating, exercise, and storytelling is an act of healing for young learners even before the pandemic, and now for the new generation starting off even more isolated.
I continue to be engaged on the Board of Directors to improve the educational growth and stability for the next generation through intentional LLL strategies and oversight; and there is unique power in gathering, connecting, and coming to a consensus around hard racial equity questions. Witnessing the collective strength in our leaders of color is empowering, validating, and humbling - especially when LLL makes space for a gay POC seeking leadership opportunities.
