Proud to be AAPI
 
We have contributed so much
To the world and its people
Created, nurtured, and sustained
We are honored of who we are.
 
Countless achievements made
We forged countries
Shaped history
We know who we are.
 
We are proud to be Asian
Proud to be Asian-American
Proud to be Pacific Islander
Proud to honor our heritage.
 
Our collective cultures
Immeasurable in breadth
From cuisine, art, music
To science, medicine, and beyond.    
 
The deeds of our ancestors
Will inspire many generations to come
We’re together in this community
We are proud to be AAPI.

May is Asian American and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month.  This piece honors everyone of Asian and Pacific Islander descent who have enriched America through their achievements.  We should follow in their footsteps and continue to make our society a better place.
