INTERSECTION OF IDENTITIES
Hi Ascend Community and Friends,
For the month of May, Ascend will be partnering with BNY Mellon to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. We’ll be bringing together a diverse panel of amazing speakers.
Part of this discussion will talk about the intersection of a person’s identities and how this influences a person’s journey. Our panelists will share their experiences that has gotten them to where they are today.
