A Message from Asian American Storytellers in Unity (AASIU):
Last year, when the world shut down and anti-Asian violence increased, a group of Asian American storytellers began meeting weekly to provide support and friendship to its members. From this beginning, Asian American Storytellers in Unity grew into a collective whose mission is to promote and celebrate Asian American culture and heritage through the art of storytelling.
Believing that prejudices start at a young age, we have created a program called Asian American Storytopia. Each 15-to-20 minute video consists of diverse stories and fun activities presented by Asian American storytellers from around the country. The program is free (although donations are always appreciated) and available on our YouTube channel:
These stories and activities are geared towards K-5 students and their families. We are starting with 10 sessions, uploaded weekly, with professional storytellers who have presented at national and global storytelling festivals, schools, libraries, museums, and conferences.
Our vision is for the world to embrace and celebrate diversity where all peoples are respected and treated equally.
We hope you will join with us by subscribing to Asian American Storytopia!
Thank you,
Asian American Storytellers in Unity
