As part of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, I wanted to bring attention and spotlight some stories that are inspiring, illuminating or highlighting struggles within the community. I love the PBS NewsHour recent story on Gulf Coast Vietnamese Americans reinventing their story in innovative ways that not only pay homage to their culture and heritage but also exemplifying resiliency as shown in the piece. Parts that I found resonated with me was when the artist, Christian Dinh, described how his grandmother's advice on cooking fish was "you'll know when the fish is ready, when the eyeballs turn white" and creating a giant longevity bowl reminiscent of bowls commonly found at family tables (albeit normal size). These were some of the things I've experience in my own Chinese household. The key takeaway this piece threaded through from all these experiences and stories was of resiliency. Whether it is having to leave your homeland to a foreign place to start anew, surviving through tragedy and misfortune only to come back stronger or keeping traditions and heritage alive through arts and culture. It all comes from a place of love and I can see that especially poignant and unique in the Asian and Asian American experience even though we may not verbally express it. It shows through our work and perseverance. I see many of these stories in my parent's journey to provide an opportunity for my siblings and me; and it's this implicit love that makes me resilient in the face of hardship and I hope to come out stronger on the other end. What are stories from your family or heritage that gives you the courage and strength to rewrite tragedy into hope? What strengths do you find looking at your family, history and heritage? #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth #apahm #AsianAmericanPacificIslanderMonth #aapi #asian #asianamerican #aapiheritagemonth #celebrateaapi #aapihistorymonth #asiancommunity https://lnkd.in/gEvqeEuQ
