Naomi’s experience with ACAM Dialogues:
ACAM Dialogues created an open place for Asian youth from various different backgrounds to reflect and share back about anti-racism, cultures, community organizing and more. I had the opportunity to reflect on feelings of shame, guilt, hope and joy and their relationship to taking culturally meaningful action. I would encourage others to join the cohort, it was lovely!
