MinneAsianStories 2023: Solidarity and Pride

To celebrate CAAL’s 10-year anniversary, we are highlighting another round of Asian Minnesotans who call our state home! This year, 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 as we hear from one storyteller per month throughout 2023 and 2024.

Every story matters.

While we spend a lot of time looking at data and information, we also know that numbers, charts, and reports sometimes miss the mark on building and connecting people in deeper ways. So, in 2018 we launched #MinneAsianStories.

#MinneAsianStories is our storytelling campaign aimed at uplifting the rich and diverse stories of our Asian Minnesotan communities. We honor the long legacy of storytelling and oral traditions in the Asian Minnesotan community and recognize that our policy and advocacy work must be just as informed by the voices and stories of our community members as it is by research and data.

We hope that this campaign will bring us closer to a world where our stories are part of everyday media coverage, where we are able to control the headlines written about us and where policy discussions are intrinsically community-centered.
