Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is important as it provides an opportunity for individuals like Sarah Gibb and Dipti Salopek to share their personal experiences and cultural backgrounds, promoting awareness and understanding of the diverse Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Both women have mixed backgrounds with elements of Taiwanese and Indian heritage respectively, which they feel has impacted them on both a professional and personal level. They discuss how their heritage has influenced their identities, and how they've sought out opportunities to learn more about themselves and other cultures through groups like Asian@Snyk at Snyk. The women also share advice for reconnecting with one's AAPI heritage, such as consuming media that features Asian representation. Overall, their stories highlight the importance of celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity in the workplace.
