📚 In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, the came together to discuss Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner.

With Jayla Reedy’s thoughtful facilitation, we discussed important themes of identity, culture, grief, family and healing. It was a meaningful conversation and a great way to learn from one another.
