This month represents to me , mostly

00:04.489 --> 00:08.369
togetherness , family and friendships .

00:08.380 --> 00:10.436
But more importantly , it represents

00:10.436 --> 00:13.210
awareness , family , a chance to

00:13.220 --> 00:16.420
showcase remembrance , tradition ,

00:17.030 --> 00:20.479
recognition , unity , pride .

00:20.920 --> 00:23.479

Asian American Pacific Islander

00:26.649 --> 00:29.920
Heritage Month represents all of us .

00:30.159 --> 00:32.340
Uh Sometimes people don't know uh what

00:32.349 --> 00:34.405
others may have experienced . Uh And

00:34.405 --> 00:36.127
those stories help drive those

00:36.127 --> 00:38.238
conversations way further uh and help

00:38.238 --> 00:41.439
connect with people . Understanding of

00:41.450 --> 00:43.319
each other goes a long way ,

00:44.360 --> 00:46.990
understanding um everybody's background ,

00:47.000 --> 00:49.119
everyone is different . So just be

00:49.130 --> 00:51.009
empathetic , be open minded .
