“APIDA Heritage Month reminds me of our rich culture and history. There is so much to share and learn from each other.  Every person brings a unique perspective of his or her heritage and experience, which makes it very special and meaningful.  APIDA Heritage Month also allows me to reflect on my own identity and upbringing, especially how my grandparents and parents have overcome the many obstacles when they immigrated from Hong Kong to the United States. Their never-ending sacrifices inspired me to appreciate everything they have done by opening avenues for their next generations.”
