User:Janemkeller/National Domestic Workers Alliance

There are two million domestic workers in the US, most of whom are immigrants and women of color. They are a very diverse and largely overlooked group, and most make less than 13 dollars an hour. [7]

Poo was born in Taiwan. She moved to the US as an infant, then back to Taiwan, then to Indiana, then California, then Connecticut. Her mother was a PhD student, so she was raised largely by the women in her community. When Poo was studying at Columbia, she started volunteering with CAAV, which is where she became aware of the overlooked needs of domestic workers. [7]
