The AAPI label is an umbrella term for over 50 ethnic groups and when considered as a standalone identity, a monolithic group, the richness of our community is diminished and our different experiences and truths become void. On this podcast, we invite you on a journey to dismantle the stereotypes as we set out to show we are more than a monolith by addressing misperceptions, sharing our truths and exploring personal stories. Each episode is a conversation where we dive into a variety of topics. We explore topics like policy, leadership, culture, racism and share space for hearing personal stories to celebrate the diverse narratives behind the AAPI name. We are one community standing strong together in honoring our multiple perspectives and unique histories.
