API Heritage Month 2021

Bringing our ‘authentic selves’ to work is not always easy, nor does it always feel safe. Which is why I am so grateful to the Box API ERG and my Product Design team who have been some of my biggest allies and avid supporters since I joined in July 2020.

Today, I led an educational and interactive workshop on the history and cultural significance of the Samoan ula, in honor of AAPIHM. Many of my teammates made it a point to attend; as well as leadership from across the org. If that's not community, I don't know what is!

Thank you to Amber Ahmed for encouraging me and giving me a platform. And a special shout out to Varun Parmar, Alan Chappell and Irina Issayeva for always making time.
