[Seniors Teach Us for the Better - Donna Lau] Regardless of race, "seniors" are often dismissed or perceived as at their end of life when in reality they are at the prime/peak of their role as "teachers" for all people in society across the generations, young and old, diverse ethnicities, in their community and extended families. Their contributions furthering the knowledge and progress of our society/lives are immense and I wanted to showcase "Seniors as Teachers"...teaching all of us for the better. This video highlights someone like an Asian, 95-year old great, great grandmother who's actively mentoring and teaching her extended family, friends, senior center community, and others on every day life matters, tasks and innovations. Her infinite wisdom having been a self-taught immigrant, coupled with her zest for life, is evident in every interaction she has with others...the ultimate teacher. Other seniors' mentoring is also showcased in the video. My vision is that this brief videoclip will change the narrative about our seniors, what it means to be senior and value to society and inspire the audience to shift their mindset about the symbiotic relationship between seniors and other generations across races. There is no wiser, more curious, more experienced, and active "teacher" than a Senior -- for he/she/they have had at least seven decades preparing to deliver their masterclass!

[Tsegai Loves Luk Tung Kuen SF! - Jessica Cen] The members of the San Francisco Luk Tung Kuen are amazing. Their energies are contagious. In 2017, Tsegai Berhe stumbled upon the group’s exercise session in the Golden Gate Park, he was hooked! 5 years has passed, he got younger, healthier and happier! He attributed this to the practice of Luk Tung Kuen almost every day even during the pandemic, and also the friendship and care he received from the group. He is one of them!
