Hi everyone! My name is Jikai Yang (Kyrie). I am from Beijing, China, and I’m  a senior at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy. I joined Student Facilitators in my sophomore year and became a member of DEI Council the following year. Confronting an entirely different culture when I first came here, I found my space in DEI, where people with all kinds of identities and backgrounds are warmly welcomed. To me, DEI means a mixture: a mixture of distinct cultures and identities, a mixture of me and the world, and a mixture of the past, present, and future.
