"Congratulations on such a triumphant gala event! I was deeply moved by the program and inspired by the important work that you and the Serica Initiative are doing for the AAPI community."
"As a fourth-generation Japanese American, hearing Kathy Hirata Chin speak about her work to preserve and share our community’s stories was especially meaningful. I’m so appreciative of the Serica Initiative’s efforts to elevate Asian American voices."
“I was so inspired by Anla's opening speech and the remarks from all the honorees, especially Sheryl, Loida, and Anita. Empowering women and girls is a passion of mine as well, and I’m so discouraged by the persistent gender gap. The Serica Initiative is doing great work!
"Thanks to Serica for making AAPI stories and voices heard. It's powerful, but it takes being brave and doing the work!”
"In the current environment, we need more organizations like Serica to unite Asians against discrimination and spread the truth against fake news and false allegations. I really admire your energy and dedication."
