Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is celebrated every May with festivals, performances, exhibits and more. The impact of the APPI community is apparent in all aspects of Bay Area culture. Today, 27% of Bay Area residents – just over two million people – identify as AAPI, second only to Honolulu. This month we acknowledge the history and contributions made by the AAPI community, and we encourage our readers to do the same!
