May is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. In a year characterized by growing levels of anti-AAPI hate across the country, we wanted to stand in solidarity and celebrate the diversity, character, and strength of the AAPI community here at HBS.
The Asian-American Business Association (AABA), in collaboration with students and organizations across campus, is proud to share and honor the stories of our community members. We hope these stories showcase the history, richness, and diversity of the AAPI experience and inspire hope for a world of empathy, compassion, and courage.
Michi Ferreol – Class of 2021
I grew up in the Philippines, around other kids who looked like me and talked like me. So while I watched a lot of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen shows back then, I never really understood that I was different. Being Asian was simply never something I thought about, much less said out loud
