Permission to Remember: Asian Heritage Month - Episode 35

Happy May!! There are many exciting things about this month . . .more sun, flowers and the permission to do more things in your life (because the month told you 'You MAY . . . get it? No? Okay, we thought it was funny). But one thing this May brings us is the celebration of Asian Heritage Month. In this fun and insightful episode of Canadian Salad, we dive into how heritage isn't just about where we come from or our cultural background—it's an evolving story that includes our traditions, ethnicity, and collective experiences. We talk about how our heritage empowers us, helping us resist assimilation and reminding us of the resilience of our ancestors. Along the way, we'll share personal stories and explore how understanding our heritage can shape who we are today and who we aim to be tomorrow. Our past really does shape our present and future and if we remember what brought us here, we'll be encouraged to find strength going forward.Let us know what you think of this episode!
