I am proud of our community for uplifting AAPI youth through writing salons, mentorships, and annual retreats— whether it is in-person or online— to ensure a space where their works are highlighted and creating future stories. Through Kundiman, I learned what it means to be in community while expanding on what it means to be Asian, Asian American, Asian diasporic, and Pacific Islander. I hope you join me to continue sustaining Kundiman’s mission and raise money for the scholarship. Let’s aim for our goal!
