AAPI Organizing in the South: Trailer

May is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, which recognizes the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, vibrancies, and achievements within the fabric of America. However, we know that the voices of AAPI communities in Atlanta run deep and its richness cannot be captured in just one month. To honor some of these stories, We Love Buford Highway and the Asian American Advocacy Fund are working together to release a three-part listening series called, “AAPI Organizing in the South.”  Every month from May through July, we will release a part of the series which includes group conversations and individual stories from the voices of local AAPI advocates and community members. These conversations will cover a broad spectrum of topics including but not limited to mental health, intersectionality, the Model Minority Myth, solidarity, and intergenerational healing. “AAPI Organizing in the South”  will be available here, on the Voices of a Highway podcast (Spotify, Apple Podcasts), every Friday beginning May 12th.  We are excited to share this special project with existing and new audiences. Mark your calendars and join us in listening to and amplifying the voices of the AAPI organizers that impact Atlanta and the South every day.
