AAPI Heritage Month

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which offers us a chance to celebrate the immense contributions of AAPI communities and look to our future in an inclusive, equal society. Lavin is proud to represent so many of the dynamic and brilliant voices exploring identity, culture, and leadership. They help us reflect on how far we’ve come in terms of inclusion and belonging, and engage with the work of social justice that still needs to be done.
