Today, 5/4 at 5pm - Join us for “How to Not Have Your Sh*t Together: A Virtual Workshop on Failure,” led by Mimi Khúc. We'll explore our ideas about success, failure, social & cultural forces that shape our ideas, & the impact of those perceptions. The stakes of failure are especially high for Asian Americans. We will explore the burden of feeling like a failure & how we might opt out--perhaps by leaning into failure & not having our s**t together at all times.
