From the art of Japanese calligraphy to the flavors of Filipino cuisine, the traditions of Hawaiian hula dancing, and the innovations in technology from South Korea, the AAPI communities enrich our lives in countless ways.

As we honor the rich and diverse cultures of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible contributions and vibrant heritage they bring to our world.

Founder Irma Cedeno’s article, "Celebrating Deaf Culture: How 5 Leading Museums Approach Accessibility and ASL Year-Round," powerfully illustrates how museums are creating inclusive and welcoming environments for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

This insightful piece serves as a compelling call to action for businesses of all kinds to embrace and celebrate Deaf culture in every facet of their operations.
