Hi! Welcome to Around the Table!

Thank you so much for checking out our newsletter! 📮

We’re Jamie and Melinda. We started this newsletter because we were motivated by personal questions to consolidate and share information and experiences related to Asian American identity. As second-gen Chinese Americans, we can only speak to our own experiences, but we want to contribute to an understanding of shared history within the AAPI community.

We realized that we lacked in way of informal education, news, and content, and this newsletter is one of our many efforts to learn and build coalitions in a community that has felt rather fractured and isolated... which brings us to our name. Food often brings our communities together—and we hope that this newsletter encourages and supports the light- and heavy-hearted conversations on such topics around the table! ☺️

Stay up-to-date

Subscribe to our newsletters below! Each week, you’ll get content on the latest news, culture highlights, bits of history, upcoming events, and more related to AAPI communities.

Also! Follow our Twitter @around_thetable and Insta @around_thetable_ 🐥

We’d love to hear from you!
