A DEI Analyst for Cubic, Stefanie Quock is passionate about celebrating all backgrounds, but it’s Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in particular that speaks to her Chinese and Filipino background. “I’m proud to honor the resilience and achievements of the AAPI community who have migrated to the U.S. and recognize how much they have contributed to our society while also celebrating a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions,” Stefanie says. “Personally, I am extremely lucky to live in Los Angeles where I have seen so much growth for the AAPI community. I feel very optimistic about how society is beginning to truly recognize and honor our different backgrounds.” #AAPIHeritageMonth

This May, we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, recognizing the incredible contributions of AAPI individuals to the fabric of our nation. The AAPI community encompasses a rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions, representing one of the fastest-growing and most diverse populations in the United States. The history of AAPI in the USA is deeply intertwined with the story of American progress. From the early immigrants who arrived seeking new opportunities to the generations who have since enriched our communities, AAPI individuals have played a vital role in shaping our society and economy. As we reflect on the achievements of AAPI individuals, we also acknowledge the challenges they have faced and continue to overcome. The diversity of America is one of our greatest strengths, and it is through embracing our differences that we become stronger and more united as a nation. In the realm of investing, real estate stands out as a field that is open to everyone, regardless of background or heritage. Many of our forefathers fought for the freedoms we enjoy today, including the ability to invest in real estate and secure our financial futures. As we honor AAPI Heritage Month, let us celebrate the diversity that makes America great and reaffirm our commitment to building a more inclusive and prosperous future for all. Happy AAPI Heritage Month! #AAPIHeritageMonth #WealthMindset #RealEstateInvesting #Diversification #FinancialIntelligence #ThePharmaInvestor

"As a Bengali American, I'm endlessly grateful for the beautiful fusion of values and traditions that define my identity." Read on to learn more about Tasmima Hossain, a Consultant on our Data & Analytics team, and the next spotlight in our Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month series. What is your favorite AAPI fact? Tas: The "Asian/Pacific American" designation encompasses over 50 ethnic or language groups, including native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders. I think it’s important to recognize that AAPI is not a monolith but rather a collection of unique cultures and subcultures. We should understand and celebrate the richness and complexity of this community. How has your heritage shaped who you are today? Tas: My heritage is a deeply integral part of who I am; it has both shaped my identity and influenced my understanding of the world. As a Bengali American, I'm endlessly grateful for the beautiful fusion of values and traditions that define my identity. In Bengali culture, community is everything. That deep sense of belonging and togetherness has been ingrained within me, leading me to care for those around me and appreciate our multicultural society. Why is it important to have diverse representation in the corporate world? Tas: Diverse representation is essential, not only in the corporate world but everywhere else too. When people from different backgrounds are represented, it reflects the reality of our world and promotes inclusivity. Moreover, seeing individuals who share their backgrounds in various fields can inspire younger generations and make them feel supported, encouraging them to pursue their aspirations with confidence. #AAPIHeritageMonth #ExpertsWithImpact #TeamFTI
