For people of Asian descent, finding a kind of sanctuary to connect with your culture can come in many different ways. From tai chi classes at the Wang YMCA in Chinatown, mahjong in the park, a sip of Kung Fu Tea bubble tea, or practicing bhangra, there are many activities, foods, and memories that can immediately remind you of your roots.

Maybe you enjoy participating in social groups or language classes. Or perhaps there is a specific ramen dish you cook or a moon cake from a certain bakery that you like to frequent. There may also be a song or book that helps you feel more connected to your family and heritage. We want to hear about what your Asian background means to you and how it remains a part of your life.
