How are you celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month this May?

While we should celebrate diverse identities all year round, now is the perfect time to learn, support, and celebrate the many cultural backgrounds, histories, and experiences that make up Asian American and Pacific Islander identities.

Here's a look at the events, initiatives, and programs that PagerDuty planned to celebrate this year, in their own words:

For Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, PagerDuty’s AP/I employee resource group 'Illuminate' aims to recognize and uplift the unique experiences of the Asian community. Throughout the month we will be highlighting various topics in categories such as food, tv/movies, dance, trivia, books, self defense, and philanthropy work. Planned activities include a Lumpia cooking class, Mah Jong in collaboration with 'SisterDuty' another employee resource group, volunteering at SF Chinatown YMCA, and an Origami making session to raise funds for Make A Wish foundation. We can't wait to celebrate all of the wonderful and unique parts of AP/I culture!
