" "Millennium Fellowship offers practical leadership development specifically tailored to campus-based social impact projects. This program provides consistent support and accountability as I work to implement workshops and organize activities. I see the Millennium Fellowship not just as program support for our immediate goals but as a launching pad for creating lasting change in how dyslexia is understood and addressed in educational settings—starting with our community in Hong Kong and potentially expanding our impact further."

Millennium Fellowship Project: Dyslexia Lens
Our project, Dyslexia Lens, is all about helping people better understand dyslexia and supporting those who experience it. Many people don't realize what it's like to live with dyslexia, so we're working to bridge that gap. We plan to organize workshops in Hong Kong in 2026 to teach more people about dyslexia—what it is, how it feels, and how we can be more supportive. Most importantly, we have created a mobile app called Dyslexia Lens during the fellowship. The app allows users to experience what reading is like for someone with dyslexia and provides practical help by scanning everyday text and turning it into fonts that are easier for dyslexic readers to understand. Our goal is to raise awareness and make life a little easier for people with dyslexia.
