Six Days of Mr. Hyphen: Pahole Sookkasikon

A recent graduate of Asian American Studies from San Francisco State University, Pahole is a core member of Save the Thai Temple, a group of second-generation Thai who spearheaded the fight to keep Sunday’s food offering service at Berkeley’s Thai Temple (Wat Mongkolratanaram). Participating in outreach and advocacy campaigns, Pahole strives to promote visibility for the smaller ethnic groups that have recently begun to emerge as part of the community.

Pahole Says:

Honestly, I want to keep it real like the rice fields and thoroughly enjoy the time I get as Mr. Hyphen. I want to fully promote Thai American as well as Southeast Asian American visibility as much as I can. Winning Mr. Hyphen [...] will help bring some acknowledgment that our community is changing.
