For some reason, the following often recurs in our work:

🌎 Navigating two worlds
🥟 Food as love
💥 Hand to hand combat
🗝️ Unlocking old secrets
👹 Masks we wear

What themes show up often in your work?

Annual reminder that if you’re creating AAPI book lists and only show East Asian books, you’ve missed the point. South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander authors and books exist too, and we’re damn tired of being ignored.
