Chimako’s Keynote Speech

In her opening speech at the 9th Annual Marshallese Education Day, Chimako Anitok tells us that “Racism is everywhere around world, and it still happens today.” Chimako can speak firsthand about the discrimination that many Micronesians face. But rather than reject her immigrant roots, she encourages the youth to “Be proud of who you are.  Be proud to say you are Marshallese.”
