Happy AAPI Heritage Month!
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
I cannot tell you how many comments I have personally gotten to “Go back to your country,” or insinuating that “my people” are not welcome here. And while I typically delete or ignore them - today is a day that I stand up and speak out.
I am so proud to be an Asian American - for what we are, for what we stand for, for what we have taught & shown others, and for what we have contributed.
There is so much we can accomplish when we work together. Now more than ever: United we stand, divided we fall.
