Exploring the significance of our heritage: Reflecting on the enriching discussions held during the AAPI Heritage Month panel at New York Life, championed by the Asian Pacific Circle ERG. Delving into our history isn't just about honoring the past; it's about shaping our future. Education and awareness are the cornerstone of progress, and these conversations ignited powerful insights for personal and professional growth. Grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our cultural legacy and foster understanding. Chris M. Kwok Mak Asada In Kyung Pyo
