Food is Love: AsACC + SHaW Partnership
For Asian and Asian American college students, an important protective factor to prevent suicide is belonging.
In Asian cultures, food is a love language. Join us at the Asian American Cultural Center on Wednesday, September 21st at 6pm to join in community and:
Bask in feel-good memories surrounding food in our culture
Share stories of the traditional meals that bring us feelings of love and belonging in terms of our unique cultures
Discuss how to leverage these positive feelings of belonging and access community when we need them most- when we're struggling and feeling isolated
We won’t just talk about food, we’ll be enjoying Asian food as a community as well. Food is first come first served. Food will be from Kathmandu Kitchen and Little Aladdin’s.
Bring your story, we want to hear it.
