Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Roots to Rise: The Power of Stories in Preserving Heritage, Grounding the Present, and Inspiring the Future
This theme emphasizes the importance of storytelling as a means to honor the rich cultural heritage of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. The stories inspire us to dream bigger, charting a path toward a future where the contributions and voices of the AAPI community continue to thrive and influence the world.
