A Deeply Personal AAPI Heritage Month: Journey from the Philippines to Freedom and Acceptance

Sharing a deeply personal take on why AAPI Heritage Month matters. For a mid-forty first generation immigrant, it is a journey towards freedom and acceptance. Beyond meaningful representation and professional recognition, it is life and identity in its purest and most basic form. Today, having a voice in marginalized subsets is a privilege. Hopefully, it will be a birth right for all... someday!
