This group is aimed at forming a community of the many Asian-Americans and allies living in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
We strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where we can build meaningful connections and celebrate the rich, cultural heritage and diversity of Asian Americans.
We are: people of Asian-American/Pacific Islander descent and allies who appreciate community and good food! Our group is a safe and inclusive space for people of East, Southeast, South Asian or Pacific Islander descent, including those who are adoptees or bi/multi-racial.
Join us to explore the Twin Cities, make new friends, and of course, eat great food. We look forward to meeting you!
Details/requests:
- Please post a picture of your face so we know who you are.
- Be respectful of the group- especially since events can be small, if you can't make it, notify the organizer ASAP so that someone else can attend.
- We encourage members to suggest and organize their own events that reflect their interests and hobbies.
- Some events are specific spaces for AAPI folks, and some will be for all including allies
- Be kind to everyone- we are all here looking for connection and support!
