Enjoy a show on your lunch hour at the GBH Studio in the Boston Public Library as we share two important discussions elevating local voices in AANHPI leadership and help broaden the reach of community conversations already taking place in neighborhoods throughout Massachusetts.
Ben Hires, CEO of BCNC, welcomes Yvonne Hao, former Massachusetts Secretary of the Executive Office of Economic Development, Q.J. Shi, Senior Director of Asian Business Empowerment Council, and Amy Kridaratikorn, chef and co-owner of Sugar & Spice Restaurant, for a discussion on how the current economic situation is impacting AANHPI groups, how organizations like ABEC are building community and helping small business owners in our region.
Next, Mai Du, Founder of Wah Lum Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy in Malden and Quincy, welcomes panelists Connie Chin, Chief Executive Officer of Global Arts Live and Myra O. Liwanag, Executive Director, Iskwelahang Pilipino (Filipino School), for a discussion about how arts and culture education combats feelings of isolation and connect new generations to their history. They will also touch on a mapping and network project underway to better connect the AANHPI community.
