Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

It’s not a moment. It’s a mindset.

May is Asian and Pacific Islander (API) Heritage Month in the U.S. and Canada. This month and every month of the year, we honor and celebrate the richness and diversity of cultures and experiences of all individuals of the API community.
