Meet Board Member Hanh Kimball-Pham (she/her/hers)!

Hanh Kimball-Pham was born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam until age 8 and is a first-generation naturalized Vietnamese American woman. She has participated in fundraising events in the past that were created by U of L’s International Student Association and Vietnamese Student Association as well as those hosted by Fairness and ACLU. Hanh believes awareness drives participation, which drives fundraising and community support. She is currently working as an advertising executive for El Toro, an ad tech company. A passion for Hanh is helping to create events that reach a larger Louisville audience. She believes in creating a safe place, providing guidance and counsel for those that, just because they are LGBTQ+, are without someone who understands or who will listen. In their spare time, Hanh and her wife like to go to the park with their dogs Beau, Kinsey, and Effie, and watch DIY shows while fixing up their home.

We are so grateful to have Hanh on the Board of Directors at the Louisville Pride Foundation!

Mollie Aleshire (she/her/hers)

Mollie is from a rural town in Virginia with a population of less than 5,000 and has resided in Berea and Lexington in Kentucky, Greensboro, North Carolina, and most recently Louisville, Kentucky. She believes her experiences as a sexual minority living in both rural and urban settings gives her a unique perspective and ability to relate to others whose life experiences have included both rural and urban experiences and influences. As a nurse for more than 20 years, within the healthcare system as well as other systems, Mollie continues to witness the reality of health inequities and has a particular passion for this as well as the intersectionality of health and other disparities in the Louisville community. Her background as a healthcare provider and health disparities researcher helps her to consider how we can best formulate partnerships among communities, organizations, and systems to inform and lead meaningful change that includes interventions at multiple socio-ecological levels to ensure equity for sexual and gender minorities. Previously, Mollie was nominated to serve on the Lexington Fayette County Kentucky Urban Government Board of Health and the Guildford County North Carolina Health and Human Services Advisory Board.

We are so grateful to have Mollie on the Board of Directors at the Louisville Pride Foundation!
