“Asian Americans in STEM: Perceptions vs. Realities” is live on SWE All Together! I hope this post offers new insights and encourages positive actions as we wrap up Asian Pacific American Heritage Month #APAHM highlighting a community with more than 20 countries of ancestral heritage, and head into Immigrant Heritage Month #IHM to celebrate with pride the resilience and contribution of U.S. immigrants (57% of Asian Americans are foreign born per latest census). Much appreciation to #SWE for the platform to share different perspectives and elevate less understood narratives. Together we rise!
