Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebrates the contributions of one of the fastest-growing groups of people living in the United States. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders contain multitudes. They are a global community with a homegrown and unique perspective on America.
Their diversity expands continents and demographics. The hopes and dreams of the AAPI community are America at its finest, and its people and traditions are those that are tightly stitched into the fabric of the nation. The American dream is alive and well within the AAPI community, and we ve gathered so many of those dreams here throughout this inspiring list of individuals.

For 25 years, the Point Reyes Farmers Market has been run by a steering committee of local volunteers. It has developed into a major community hub in the summer, featuring music, a kids’ zone and tantalizing samples from a rotating cast of chefs outside Toby’s Feed Barn, as well as fresh vegetables, eggs, olive oil, fermented foods, jams, artisan bread and more.
But this year, due to a suite of issues including the ramifications of Covid-19, marks a turning point: The market’s management is transferring to the Agricultural Institute of Marin, a nonprofit that runs eight farmers markets in Marin, San Francisco and the East Bay.
At the end of a harrowing growing season marked by wildfires and pandemic restrictions, first-time grower Gaby Lee harvested the final patch of her half-acre flower farm in Pescadero recently.
On the surface, it appears that Leeâs business, Lunaria Farms, fits squarely in the Coastsideâs history of flower growing and that sheâs part of a comeback after much of the industry went abroad. But Lee stands apart from the areaâs legacy. Sheâs growing medicinal flowers, and sheâs tapping into her Chinese heritage to do so.

As we ve found ourselves back under a shelter-at-home order in most of the Bay Area, I ve found myself once again turning to my trusty travel shows to shake off some of the wanderlust I ve been finding myself in. And while I ve taken to shows that explore far off places via my television, it s been the episodes of my beloved San Francisco that s had me feeling wistful than most and has me making a spreadsheet of places to remember to revisit for takeout.
