The month of May is when the spotlight burns brighter on the AANHPI community! All month long we celebrate the diversity of Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders and that means honoring everyone from the most prominent political and media figures to the unsung heroes who are tirelessly working to elevate our voices.
In this episode, May, Kelly and Tamlyn talk about their commitment to the community and why the sense of belonging amongst AANHPIs is still not fully embraced, according to the latest STAATUS report. Perhaps one reason is that a majority of Americans still can't name one prominent Asian American.
The ladies of "Shoes Off Inside" also look forward to being together IN PERSON in Washington, D.C. to celebrate AANHPI at the APAICS gala, or more fondly referred to as the "Asian Prom". (note: this episode was recorded May 2, before the D.C. events) But at the end of the episode, there's a post-event update that you don't want to miss. Let's put it this way, it's the most unusual setting that MKT have every recorded in together! It was a little bumpy!
