Linus Liang, co-founder of Embrace and a 2012 Grinnell Prize recipient, blogs on Grinnell

Last week, Jane Chen and I travelled from India and China respectively to the heartland of America – Grinnell, Iowa! Even though the journey took over 24 hours, it was more than worth it to be able to accept the Grinnell College Young Innovator for Social Justice Prize. "The Grinnell Prize honors individuals under the age of 40 who have demonstrated leadership in their fields and show creativity, commitment, and extraordinary accomplishment in effecting positive social change." Even though this was only the second year that the Grinnell Prize was given out, it has received a lot of attention. The entire Embrace family feels incredibly honored to have been selected.
