May Prompt: Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and we here at maivmai invite you to write about what it means to be Hmong.
How does your Hmong identity manifest itself within your life? When are you most or least conscious of your “Hmongness”?
Think of the places and communities that you may find yourself in. From your home, to school, to work, or to your various social circles—whether they are Hmong or non-Hmong circles.
What does your Hmong identity feel like in context of the larger Asian American community?
As we approach 45 years of being in the United States, think about our journey thus far, your journey thus far, and share the story that is beaming from your heart.
