Voices Intertwined: Stories That Shape Us
When we unite as Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans (APIDA), we can consciously form and share a larger, ever-changing identity that supports us as we grow. Our heritages are shaped by various iterations of familial connections; unique ties to one’s cultures, histories, of activism; and care for communities that manifest themselves into the legacies we wish to build upon. Our collective is an enduring event unbound by time and space—it is the intertwining of voices and stories, whether from the past, the moments we exist in now, or the opportunities promised by tomorrow. Our decision to join together as an APIDA community is how we shape and are shaped by ourselves and each other. Existing within an identity that draws across a breadth of narratives, we choose to make our own way forward, embodying the theme for the 2023 APIDA Heritage Month campus recognition: “Voices Intertwined: Stories That Shape Us.”
