Crushing The Myth at Empower 2019

We had a great time at the Empower 2019 Creative Leadership Conference. Thank you to Marvin Yueh and Minji Chang for putting on such a great event, each and every year.

If you weren't able to attend, please check out all the Crushing The Myth (LA) speakers here. They talked about bondage, masculinity, self-hatred, and of course, law school ("Law School Made Me Gay").

It was splendid.

Hapa Mag

Hapa Mag is a publication by Hapas, for everyone.

Here at Hapa Mag, we believe that the word Hapa celebrates our unique identities. Throughout its history, "Hapa," has taken on different meanings for different people. It originated from the Hawaiian pidgin word for "half," and for many of us, it has come to mean that you're part Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and/or Asian.

To be Hapa is to be a part of a diverse and growing community with many perspectives. We hope to capture these mixed stories and experiences within each issue of Hapa Mag. Read all about it here.
