Description

In recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the library is hosting two virtual panel discussions in May to celebrate our Asian American community members and elevate their stories. Panelists will explore how their heritage has informed their life experience and shaped both their sense of identity and the community at large.

Comprised of Conard and Hall students and alumni, the youth panel (5/14) will illuminate what it means to come of age as an Asian American youth in West Hartford.

The panel will be moderated by Yukiyo Iida, founding member of West Hartford Parent Community Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Groups and Programs and Partnership Specialist at EquityCT.

There is an AAPI Adult Panel on Friday, 5/21 featuring an array of local voices. Click here for more information and registration. 

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email, followed by a Zoom invitation sent 24-48 hours before the event. Please note that you must register for each panel to attend both events.
