H. Babusci and Jenn Lee took the initiative to organize this event under the guidance of Dr. Deborah Moon. The speakers addressed such topics as racial trauma, local resources, and advocacy within AAPI communities. The DEI leadership panel discussed strategies for fostering alliances, partnerships, and synergy among DEI advocates working with Asian, Black, and Latinx communities. The event was generously funded by the School of Social Work, NASW-PA, CRSP, Pitt Business, and the Asian Studies Center.
