Submission declined on 2 December 2025 by Monkeysmashingkeyboards (talk). This draft appears to contain text generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You cannot use LLMs to generate article content. LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice. These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies: hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references. unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual. copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. See the advice page on large language models for more information.

• Comment: Still don't see how she could be notable. Nighfidelity (talk) 16:15, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: The EdSurge source appears solid, but your two other pieces of significant coverage seems to fail our test for independence. The first is an alumni profile, which means it is not a fully independent source. The second says that the outlet was "connected" with Diana Chao by Three Dot Dash, where she is a Global Teen Leader, so I'm not sure I would regard that as an independent source either. I'd say you still need at least one more independent, reliable source that provides significant coverage in order to establish notability. MCE89 (talk) 13:35, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Diana Chao (born c. 1998) is an American mental health activist. She is the founder of Letters to Strangers, a global non-profit organization that facilitates anonymous letter-writing exchanges for youth mental health support.

Chao was born in the Guizhou province of China and belongs to the Buyi ethnic minority.^[1] She immigrated to the United States with her family at age nine, settling in California.^[2]

Chao was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 13.^[1] During high school, she was also diagnosed with uveitis, an eye condition that caused episodes of temporary blindness.^[3] She graduated from Princeton University in 2021 with a degree in geosciences. She later attended the University of Oxford as a Skoll Scholar.^[4]

In 2013, while a high school sophomore, Chao founded Letters to Strangers (L2S) as a student club.^[1][2] The organization's primary activity involves exchanging anonymous letters between students to share personal stories and offer support.^[1]

According to EdSurge, the organization grew through word-of-mouth and established student chapters internationally.^[1] By 2024, the organization reported having chapters in 70 countries.^[4] The organization also operates a toll-free mental health hotline in Liberia.^[1]

In 2016, Chao was named a U.S. Presidential Scholar.^[5] She was named a "Health Hero" by O, The Oprah Magazine in 2019.^[6]

In 2020, L'Oréal Paris named her one of their "Women of Worth" honorees.^[7] In 2021, she was a recipient of the Princess Diana Legacy Award.^[8]
