Jenn works in the Vietnamese diaspora community of Falls Church, VA to advocate for immigrant businesses and combat gentrification and cultural erasure. She is committed to addressing inequity in the built environment and re-envisioning how land development distributes wealth in communities. She believes in building agency within post-war communities and celebrating the resilience of a people who have thrived against direct and systemic violence.

We hope to minimize commercial displacement and maintain the strong cultural and communal nature of Eden Center.
