Philadelphia’s Asian American, Pacific Islander, and immigrant and refugee community is extremely eclectic, just like the city itself. But as is the case with most marginalized groups, members of Philly’s AAPI population have been forced to face challenges and push through adversity. With Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month winding down, KYW Newsradio’s Denise Nakano helps us celebrate a distinct and diverse group that has enriched the city, and made it a better place to live.
