“Over the past six years, it has truly been a pleasure watching Rita grow as a documentarian, social worker, and orator. She is an excellent listener, empathic, and a devoted social justice warrior. While I am her peer, there have been so many times that she has served as my mentor and confidante. I am very pleased that she is sharing her unique insight and voice with the world through Healing Out Lao'd. To whom much is given, much is expected, and Rita constantly pushes the limits of what is achievable with creativity, determination, and tenacity.”
