Thanks to all who helped make our?#AANHPIMonth?Community Slam a success! From the 22nd floor of 10 Grand in Brooklyn, B Local’s very own, Esther Pang, shared her personal story as a member of the AANHPI community. She inspired us with her vulnerability and reminded us that culture is not one-size-fits-all, stressing the importance of connecting on a deeper, more personal level.
