LGBT Story Project
This is an exert from my job application. Hope I can get it as this position is closely linked with my current research...
I am passionate about mobilizing, forming and maintaining partnerships across sectors. 1. Based on my research, I think basically we need more people with different skills and resources to work in the LGBT field as this field is extremely hunger for talents, resources (both philanthropic dollars and business investment) and allies (academia, media, broader civil society, and public offices, etc.). 2. I have mapped out some of the key resources in the LGBT field and have been trying to figure out potential collaboration opportunities. I successfully influenced straight businessmen investing in pink market to provide travel services for Chinese LGBT population which will not only address this growing need but also help increase the visibility of LGBT community, change public perception and create more job opportunities. 3. I think UNDP will provide a very good platform for me to identify more resources and encourage more forces to work around LGBT issues. E.g., one critical gap I have mapped out is the lack of funding for human rights and culture related projects. I would like to have a deeper look at the funding situation in Asia Pacific region and convince more funders (foundations, government and inter-governmental organizations, international aid agencies and individuals) to jointly support the development of LGBT community. 4. I have a very good networking skill. I like to connect with real activists, thoughtful leaders and key persons who may potentially affect the big picture. In the past four months, I have connected with about 300 individual activists.
