For Martha J. Manier, Ph.D., who taught Spanish and Women’s Studies at Humboldt State University, stories have always been a prime interest, from the personal stories of family and friends, to medieval exempla, Spanish and American folktales, and, finally, the microcuentos and short stories of contemporary Latin America. Her translations of the latter have appeared in journals, anthologies, and bilingual editions. Currently, she is a research associate at the Museum of International Folk Art where she also volunteers as a textile cataloger.

“Touched by childhood tragedy, Betty Chinn brings hope to those who have fallen on hard times. Left homeless as a child in China, Chinn became mute. When she came to America, she found both her voice and her mission: aiding those without shelter on our own shores. ”
-Barack Obama
She’s the humanitarian compared to Mother Teresa,
hailed as the “Hong Kong Angel,” and beloved by her
community in Humboldt County. She miraculously
survived the most vile brutalities to become a beacon
for humanity and an inspiration for all.
Meet Betty Kwan Chinn.
