As of 2021, President Biden officially designated the month of May as #AsianAmericanNativeHawaiianAndPacificIslanderHeritageMonth (#AANHPI). A long acronym but that’s not the only one. Its also known as #AsianPacificIslanderDesiAmericanHeritageMonth (#APIDA), which intentionally includes #SouthAsian identities as their cultures and identities are underrepresented. All of these terms are pretty umbrella but no matter what it’s called we must continue to learn and unlearn about these cultures. We all need to see ourselves. We all need to be acknowledged, recognized and celebrated because #representationmatters. For everyone!

So like every year, let me know who your favorite mixed raced #Asian #Hawaiian #PacificIslander and #Desi public figures you would love to see featured.

Also DM me about your experiences being mixed #AANHPIDA to be featured!

Feel free to represent yourselves below, what are your heritages? You may find someone you can relate to! Happy #MixedGirlMonday!
