Today is the first day of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, a time to celebrate and shine a spotlight on Asian Americans as part of the American fabric. This year, such recognition is particularly important because of the current violence against our community.
The size of the Asian American community hovers around 23 million, accounting for around 7 percent of all Americans, and that small 7 percent contains multitudes, a dizzying and constantly evolving diversity!
