Asian Pacific American History Month 2021
My Asian American Inspiration
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, a time of celebration, reflection, inspiration. It has been an inconceivable year of chaos, heartbreak, challenge, evolution and rebirth. At times, we braced for tidal wave after tidal wave and life felt too much to handle. Other times, our resilience proved us wrong. We rose again and again. We stand taller, stronger.
We want our children to stand tall too, proud to be a part of this beautiful and inclusive culture and heritage. With that, we are so thrilled to announce our inaugural APAHM Inspiration Contest!
