Michelle is with the May Book Project. She is the one who coined the tag #VeryAsian , and this opened up a lot of conversation about bringing #APIDAs to the table. The May Project partnered with {#id:525479#} to distribute book donations to students. #ALAAC23

Charles: The hook industry doesn't represent #APIDA voices... They generally don't consider many Non-White Voices at all. An "identity trap" pigeonholes BBIMPs into writing only about racially oriented subjects #ALAAC23 .

Elaine: Reflects on how these professions require a lot of different degrees and do not pay much. It assumes generational wealth to get needed experience. Who has that access to wealth? Librarianship/publishing is not a hobby for 50's housewives. #ALAAC23

#APIDAs are widely underrepresented in media. A lot of us have to anglicize our names so they can be more palatable. Our stories are not being told. #ALAAC23

Diversity matters because you have more opportunities to tell local stories. And those of the marginalized. We need to also engage more with local news. It influences library collection development among other things. #ALAAC23
