2023 #MinneAsianStories: Solidarity & Pride

In celebration of CAAL’s 10-year anniversary, we are once again highlighting the diverse Asian communities that call Minnesota home. Over the next twelve months, CAAL will highlight storytellers that cross generations, ethnicities, and experiences in our state, illustrated by local artist Eh Soe Dwe (Instagram: ehsoesart).

This year, storytellers were asked to reflect upon two questions: How has community building evolved over the last ten years? How have you found solidarity and pride in your Asian Minnesotan identity? Read our stories below.
