** Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
------------------------------------------------------------
PEAK’s Asian American Pacific Islander Affinity Group, created in partnership with our network of volunteers, held its first meeting during PEAK2021 Online. Co-led by members Jina Freiberg, Anna Huynh, and Sheryl Saturnino, this group provides a forum where grants professionals who identify as AAPI can connect, network, and support one another. Only by coincidence did this group coalesce during AAPI Heritage Month.

To commemorate these two occasions, we asked Jina, Anna, and Sheryl to recommend books, film, and other media to promote greater understanding and appreciation of AAPI heritage and support everyone in being better allies to the AAPI community. From literature and documentary films to reports and educational resources, these offerings provide a window into the AAPI community and the issues they face. Read on—we’re sure that these materials will enlighten and inspire you to drive change.

** A Visual Tool Kit for Driving Equity
------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier this month, more than 1,300 members of our community gathered at PEAK2021 Online for eight days filled with candor, inspiration, and guidance that empowered us all to be change agents to drive equity in grantmaking practices and transform philanthropy.

Throughout the event, a graphic facilitator translated insights from our six keynotes into mind maps. We hope you’ll download and use these visual tools to help you continue the conversations you started at PEAK2021 within your own organizations and be a catalyst for change.

“In the workplace, white supremacy culture explicitly and implicitly privileges whiteness and discriminates against non-Western and non-white professionalism standards related to dress code, speech, work style, and timeliness. …These values, established over time as history and fact, have been used to create the narrative of white supremacy that underpins professionalism today, playing out in the hiring, firing, and day-to-day management of workplaces.” [more] ([link removed])
