Mimi Khuc
Writer, scholar, and teacher; mental health advocate
“Mentoring is the act of taking seriously one’s responsibility for collective care. Mentoring is to create access in the broadest and deepest sense possible, to help others see themselves as people deserving of access and care and the fullest of life chances, to see our wellbeing as deeply interconnected and to commit to that interconnectedness, that interdependence. Mentoring is to give hope.”
We are proud to induct Mimi Khuc into the Susan Daniels Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame.
