Stories are the bridge. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Stay curious, friends, and you’ll always be all right. That’s what my dad used to say. I think In the Garden Behind the Moon will leave you enlightened, delighted, and…changed? 👀 #aapiheritagemonth #aanhpi

Bad news but I am undeterred. My ancestors are my crucible and my guides. Protect our libraries and museums. Teach real history. #ITooAmAmerica #history #smithsonian
