Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month
Hello hello my gorgeous YPOC community! As I'm sure some of you know, I am an incredibly proud member of the AAPI community and I deeply respect and hold gratitude for my community. I wanted to share my love for the AAPI community this heritage month with all of you!
This time to honor the AAPI community started as a week-long celebration enacted by president Jimmy Carter after being passed by the House. It grew into a month, which is how we now celebrate us!
AAPI celebration is so incredibly important, because young children like I was have grown up feeling othered and ostracized for their identity. I can't tell you how many times I've been told to "go back to my country", as well as microaggressions related to my culture's food, people's surprise that I have an American accent, or my skin tone. AAPI people have been around for centuries and we aren't going anywhere anytime soon, so I want to take this time to CELEBRATE!
Questions:
🌸Are you AAPI? If so, what's something you're proud about your heritage?
🌸What is one of your favorite aspects of an AAPI culture? Food, music, media, anything!!
🌸What can you do to be an ally to the communities you don't belong to?
