Asian Students Speak OutAuthor: Qijun (Martin) Gong, Yo-Jia (Anjelica) Tang
Created in July of 2022, two Asian students set out on a journey to convey the AAPI experience to listeners across the world. This project was created during YYGS Politics, Law and Economics program as a demonstration to empower others in our communities and on the global scale. The story of the Asian American experience cannot be defined by a single story, rather the culmination of hundreds of years and millions of people. We encourage all listeners to become the architects of your own narrative and keep the history and legacy of Asian American history alive.
