What are ways you celebrate your heritage?⁠ At the age of five my father discovered fishing in the freshwater lakes of Massachusetts. He continued this hobby into adulthood, giving our family a tradition of camping in the summer and spending the whole day on the boat fishing for bass and swimming in the cool lake water. Having summers like this in my childhood gave me a strong connection to the outdoors that has carried forward to today. I celebrate this part of my heritage with my own family, spending time exploring nature whenever and wherever possible.⁠⁠ <a href="https://thecollectivebookstudio.medium.com/celebrating-asian-american-and-pacific-islander-heritage-month-4bd385bc40c">Click Here</a>
