But first, what is AAPI Heritage Month? AAPI Heritage Month, observed in May, celebrates the accomplishments and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. It is a time to recognize the rich history, diverse cultures, and the important role that individuals of AAPI descent have played in shaping the nation. Through various events, activities, and educational initiatives, AAPI Heritage Month aims to promote awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the AAPI community's influence on American society.
