  Lan Dinh's VietLead organizes those in the Vietnamese diaspora of Philadelphia to advocate for themselves and navigate systems of oppression, while celebrating history and culture.

The article from The Philadelphia Inquirer highlights Lan Dinh, the executive director of VietLead, a community organization in Philadelphia's South and Southwest neighborhoods. VietLead focuses on empowering the Vietnamese community through various initiatives like youth leadership programs, community organizing, and cultural preservation. Dinh, who has been with VietLead since its inception in 2009, discusses the organization's efforts to address issues like gentrification, language barriers, and cultural erasure. She emphasizes the importance of community-driven solutions, where residents are not just recipients of services but active participants in shaping their community's future. VietLead's work includes advocating for affordable housing, providing translation services, and fostering a sense of identity and pride among Vietnamese Americans. Dinh's leadership has been pivotal in expanding VietLead's reach and impact, making it a vital resource for not only the Vietnamese but also other immigrant communities in Philadelphia.
