It is not simply about cooking or cuisine.
It is about the journeys behind every dish—the sacrifices of immigrants, the resilience of families, the dignity of work, the creativity of new generations, and the countless ways Asian Americans have enriched the cultural fabric of the United States.

How have the flavors carried across oceans transformed not only what America eats, but how America understands itself?

We invite you to share your stories!

Food tells stories that words alone often cannot.

A family recipe can carry the memory of a homeland. A neighborhood restaurant can become a community’s gathering place. A lunchbox packed with unfamiliar aromas can reveal both the pain of exclusion and the pride of belonging. Across generations, food preserves traditions, fuels dreams, and creates opportunities for connection.

For the 2027 Asian American Stories Video Contest, we invite you to explore the Asian American experience through one of its most universal expressions: food.

Our Food, Our Stories: Legacy, Resilience, and the American Table is not simply about cooking or cuisine.

It is about the journeys behind every dish—the sacrifices of immigrants, the resilience of families, the dignity of work, the creativity of new generations, and the countless ways Asian Americans have enriched the cultural fabric of the United States.

Through documentary, narrative, animation, or experimental storytelling, filmmakers are challenged to answer an enduring question:



How have the flavors carried across oceans transformed not only what America eats, but how America understands itself?

We invite you to share your stories!

This weekend, Asian American Stories youth interns participated in the Asian Food Expo.

These young people came from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and some lived far from the event venue. Yet for two days, they came together with one shared purpose: encouraging more Asian Americans to tell their stories.

Our youth interns – Ella, Kimaaya, Sophia, and Milo – from the Asian American Stories Summer Program, spent the summer learning storytelling, video production, communication, teamwork, and community engagement.

Only weeks earlier, many of them had been shy when practicing how to introduce Asian American Stories. At the Expo, something had changed.

They spoke confidently and passionately with people they had never met. They explained why Asian American Stories was created, invited community members to participate, and introduced next year’s theme: “Our Food, Our Stories.”

Meet Asian American Stories Youth Interns!
