11:00AM - Celebrating the Stories of our LGBTQ+ Asian American Pacific Islander Community
Join us for a discussion with our panelists as we elevate the voices of our diverse AAPI communities. Colorado Dragon Boat will host “Celebrating the Stories of Our LGBTQ+ Asian American Pacific Islander Community,” a community conversation highlighting the intersectional identities, multifaceted experiences, and valuable contributions of members of Colorado’s queer AAPI community.
“Despite contrary thought, queer AAPIs have been around forever. They are the legacy of a long line of ancestors who flouted conventional norms and subverted the gender construct. The community is too often erased or ignored in the larger AAPI landscape, but their stories do matter.”
- Shawna Chen, Editor-in-Chief of The Yappie, a nonprofit newsroom informing and empowering AAPI communities
Meet our Panelists!

11:00AM - Celebrating the Stories of our Multiracial AAPI Community
Join us for a community conversation “Celebrating the Stories of Our Multiracial Asian American Pacific Islander Community,” which aims to provide a foundation for understanding our diverse AAPI community and notions of identity. How does our multiracial AAPI community see and describe themselves? How are they seen and described by others? What can members of the broader AAPI community and beyond do to create a sense of belonging and inclusion for individuals with multiracial and multiethnic identities? We’ll tackle these nuanced questions as we celebrate the unique stories of our multiracial AAPI community.
