At first glance, it seems like there is little to no Asian presence in St. Louis. But that's just not true. Let's explore St. Louis together to learn about the ways Asian Americans are here and deeply connected in the community.
We hope to see:
All stories of Asians in America tied into the larger community of Asian America
Exposure to the racial history of Asians in America and how that impacts us
A deeper desire for liberation in our community that leads to collaboration with other communities
Ultimately, a greater sense of joy in our lived experiences to just freely be in St. Louis.
There will be a variety of events for all types of people. Community speakers, restaurant hunting, bar hopping, game nights, and community service are just a few things we hope to see happen. If there are things you want to try, shoot us a message, and we can make it an event!
For our Asian American friends, we are glad you are here and excited to meet you! I just want to clarify that Asian Americans come from all backgrounds: multiracial, adoptee, South/Southeast Asian, coastal, first/second/third generation, etc. Whatever your story is, you are welcome!
Non-Asian friends, welcome! We are excited for you to learn and hang out with us. Although the content for this group will be centered around Asian America, we know that we are not an isolated community and are deeply connected with the rest of STL. I believe the more we learn about Asian Americans, the more we realize how much we need each other to be a better community.
By building real connections with individuals and businesses, we can see St. Louis become a place where Asian Americans from all walks of life are excited to live here.
