We couldn't help but be captivated by Zenora, April, and Abigail at Backlight: Unheard Voices of AAPI! Thank you for introducing us to the AAPI community through a lens many of us had never used before! Be sure to look through the poppin pictures below if you missed out!

We hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend! Today (4/9), at 6pm in Peabody 218 (that's only a few hours away!) we will be hosting Backlight: Unheard Voices of AAPI, which will focus on underrepresented figures of the AAPI community and will help YOU deconstruct the meaning of what it means to be part of the AAPI community!

What an eye-opening panel! A special thank you to Dr. Ji-Yeon Jo, Jessie Huang, Ricky Leung, Joshua Jiang, and Melissa Luong for taking panel seats!

Unfortunately, there are no more events for APAHM this week, but stay tuned for next week's Backlight: Unheard Voices of AAPI!

In the meantime, we invite you to check out some other events being hosted in the area geared towards the AAPI experience including Triangle-Area Asian American Student Conference 2018 at Duke University and ASA Prom: Hollywood! at The Tavern. We hope you can join us!

Do you miss Joshua Chung's talk on masculinity and leadership from APIAutumn? Have no idea what we're talking about? Well, we have the event for you!

Model Minority but not Model Leader? (7-8pm TODAY in Peabody 218) will allow you to engage with a panel to explore the reasons why AAPI individuals are considered powerful in the workforce but do not have high ranking positions, especially how the Model Minority Myth has a hand in that status (gRoSs). We hope to see you there!

Reflections was a success! Thank you to everyone who came out and to all the amazing artists who contributed to this exhibit! (Also look at how cute everyone is! So many smiles!)

We know you definitely haven't gotten enough of APAHM so we have good news for you: tomorrow (April 5) 7-8pm in Peabody 218 we will be hosting Model Minority but not Model Leader? which is a leadership panel to explore barriers AAPI individuals face in obtaining leadership positions.

Special thank you to Elizabeth Schwabe and Sean Nguyen for photos!

Wow, what an AMAZING event! Alex Muma, Tanas Gangadhar, Harrison Lee and Andrew Pham did a great job opening dialogue about the intersection between masculinity, beauty, and Asian/Asian-American identity.

Just a quick reminder for those who went that it is important to keep having those same conversations with one another and with those who didn't attend the workshop to look into ourselves and our inherent biases that can be addressed to lift up, rather than damage, our community!

Stay tuned, we're far from done. Next up is Reflections: An AAPI Art Exhibit that will be on April 4 from 6-8 pm in the Union (more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/187185652010863/) featuring art from AAPI individuals painting (metaphorically, there is variation in style!) their campus experience for everyone to see! Hope to see you there!

A special thank you to Harrison Lee for providing these photos.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Opening Ceremony! It was extremely successful, in part due to those who chose to share their touching narratives and captivating performances! We hope to see everyone again at our following events!

The next event will be Re-Thinking Masculinity and Beauty, on April 2, 7:30pm in Hamilton 100. It's a workshop event made up of four mini workshops headed by four unique individuals that will ultimately aim to help participants explore the relationship between masculinity and beauty and how related issues affect Asian-American presentation. Mark your calendars!
