Born and raised in San Jose, Brandon is quickly becoming the voice of our future. By day he teaches middle school, and in his spare time he serves on the board of directors for Poetry Center San Jose.

Poetry is something Brandon has felt strongly about for some time, noting that it’s an opportunity to bring people together, regardless of age or circumstance. “It’s a form of expression that sets itself apart as a hybrid between language and feeling. People often ask, ‘Do you have to understand a poem totally for it to leave you with a feeling?’ I’ve learned that however you come to understand that feeling, it’s valid.”

As a Creative Ambassador, Brandon will produce a creative expression project focused on community poetry. The project’s core is based on the creation of a collaborative art piece titled We Are San Jose. The piece will feature work by local Asian artists and poets. Brandon will host a social media campaign to collect art, photos, and videos that showcase different parts of San Jose. ⁠
