Sabaidee, everyone, and happy new year.
It’s been a long time since I last posted and there are so many exciting things I want to share with all of you.
Celebrating Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Month in the Lao Community

Sabaidee, everyone and I hope you’ve been enjoying the National Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This is one of my favorite times of the year as we remember all of those who came before us and as we share our history at events across Minnesota.
