Every story matters.
While CAAL’s main strategies include data and policy work, we know that numbers and reports can miss the mark on capturing the whole story and connecting people in deeper ways. So, in 2018 CAAL launched #MinneAsiaStories.
#MinneAsianStories is our storytelling campaign to uplift the rich and diverse stories within our Asian Minnesotan communities.
We honor the long legacy of storytelling and oral traditions in Asian cultures.
We recognize that our policy and advocacy work must be informed just as much by the voices and stories of community members as it is by research and data.
We hope this campaign brings us closer to a world where Asian Minnesotans challenges and successes are part of everyday media coverage, where we influence the headlines written about us, and where policy discussions are intrinsically community centered.
#MinneAsianStories Current Season
This season, storytellers were asked to reflect on the following questions: How has community building evolved over the last ten years? How have you found solidarity and pride in your Asian Minnesotan identity?
Join us for 2023 & 2024 #MinneAsianStories on Solidarity and Pride.
