ASIAN AMERICAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE

 

In lieu of empty slogans and self-congratulatory confetti in recognition of this annual celebratory event, I’d like to invite you to a series of in-depth discussions, jump-started by a coalition of partners known as Quiet Before.

 

The panelists speak to Asian American history, ways to broaden the AAPI community’s visibility, as well as build solidarity with like-minded supporters  

 

Not surprisingly, this issue is dear to me, and of particular pertinence, given the dearth of diversity in the asset management field.  Indeed, according to a 2017 study,  only 1.1% of asset management firms are diverse-owned, as measured by assets under management.

 

History may be mutable according to the lens of a historian.  In meantime, it is incumbent upon each of us to seek a more just society, more reflective of all its parts.

 

 

P.S. My cousin, Alice, a graphics design maven with her own shop drove the creative direction of Quiet Before!
