Wah Lum Kung Fu & Tai Chi Academy Honored by Get Konnected

Mayor Gary Christenson was in attendance as Malden’s Wah Lum Kung Fu & Tai Chi Academy was recognized as one of the 10 Most Influential Organizations in Boston by Get Konnected, an award-winning, nationally recognized, premier, cross-cultural and inclusive networking business that brings together professionals, business and civic leaders and entrepreneurs from all cultures, industries and sectors. Ten community organizations were honored at the celebration and community bonding event, which featured a focus on Lunar New Year and Black History Month. The event served as a movement towards greater understanding, unity and mutual respect between the Black and Asian Communities. The event also showcased Stories of Solidarity from featured speakers. A highlight of the event was the kickoff of the program with Wah Lum’s traditional New Year Lion Dance.

Wah Lum Kung Fu & Tai Chi Academy, which is led by Mai Du, has been tireless in its work to empower others by embracing and celebrating culture and diversity, commitment to youth and the well-being of individuals of all ages. “I congratulate Mai and Wah Lum Kung Fu Academy on this honor,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “I’m honored to have celebrated with them and am grateful for all they do in our community.”
