Asian Joy

If trauma unites us, it is joy that liberates us. In this final week of Asian Heritage Month, we will celebrate and honour the beauty, strength, resilience, culture and dignity embodied in Asian people both here in Canada and all over the globe.Hostion and Andrea will explore the brief history of how Asian Heritage Month came to be, what was the tone at the time when this annual observance began and what does it mean? Crucial to our love of one another is understanding the humanity and the ability to resist and rise above the oppression and historical acts of hate committed against Asian people in Canada. Our history is not complete without these stories - these stories of hardship, survival and sorrow. And our history is not complete without these stories - these stories of courage, strength and joy. Asian Joy: Liberation From OppressionLet us know what you think of this episode!
