Scholars of Color- Chase Anderson

What is Scholars of Color?

It is a platform in which scholars of color are purposefully celebrated. It’s a space where scholars of color are showcased front and center. It is a digital space where we feel empowered and resilient. Let us get to know each other. Let us cheer each other on AND show the world what we have to offer.

Let us now welcome Chase Anderson to the Scholars of Color space!

What's your current occupation? (i.e. Student, Scientist, Coach, In transition, etc.):  Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at UCSF

Without positions or titles, how would you describe yourself?: I'm someone who likes the quiet moments with friends where we can share our stories, someone who likes going for long walks listening to Kpop and other music, someone who simply wants our world to be more magical and more openly loving.

What are you passionate about?: I'm most passionate about fostering the dreams of others and holding the dreams of others when they can't hold them themselves.

What does the representation of Scholars of Color mean to you?: The representation of Scholars of Color means that times are changing. It's hard, it's taking more time than it should, but it means that times are changing for the better and we will keep going together.
