How storytelling fights stereotypes about the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander community
Description
Amid a rise of anti-Asian racism and xenophobia across the United States, Katherine Cheng decided she had to do something. "People don't actually identify us as being relevant, or mattering," Cheng said. "Why don't they do that? Because we're invisible." Cheng realized there is a lack of stories about everyday Asian people, and amplifying Asian voices is a way to illuminate the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) experience.
With the help of friends, Cheng co-founded Our Stories are Your Stories (OSAY), a campaign to celebrate the diversity within the community and recognize the similarities many of us share.
