Dear Friend,
Happy Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month! Here at Serica, we're gearing up for our biggest event of the year—our 2025 Trailblazers Conference & Gala, taking place on May 22 in New York City! The daylong event convenes today’s most influential and inspiring AAPI women leaders across media, tech, health, education, and the arts for dynamic conversations, networking, and celebration. Tickets are limited, so act fast! We're excited to announce a few more surprise speakers, performers, and auction items for sale.
We're also thrilled to share the winners of this year's Rising Star Awards and some wonderful events and updates from our partners. Finally, in a shameless bit of self-promotion, my debut novel, Transplants, is going on a national book tour, and it would be a true privilege to meet you in-person! I'll be in New York on May 21 and again on June 12, with lots more dates around the country. Learn more about the novel and read an excerpt on ALL ARTS.
From all of us here, look forward to celebrating with you soon!
With gratitude,
Daniel Tam-Claiborne
Deputy Director, The Serica Initiative
