Our goal for PYD is to be a storytelling platform that highlights the histories, voices, and experiences of the Southeast Asian diaspora. We want people to see how diverse, nuanced, and resilient we are. We want to introduce everyone to incredible SEA artists and writers and spotlight individuals and organizations working to get us a seat at the table. We want to create a safe space for people to talk about issues that affect us, and inspire one another to rise up and effect change. We want to build community by finding commonalities amongst us, but also celebrating what makes us unique. We want to be part of the legacy of the Southeast Asian diaspora to be a point of pride 💛
We hope that you will join us in our efforts, be it by sharing your or your family’s story, contributing to our projects, becoming an ally, joining our team, or helping us spread the word. Together, we believe we can accomplish something incredibly meaningful.
