For Michelle Nguyen, Senior Systems Engineer Lead for Cubic Transportation Systems, Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a celebration of cultures from the Asian continent and Pacific Islands that contribute to America’s identity and our collective impact in shaping its cultural mosaic. “I’m inspired by leaders like Amanda Ngoc Nguyễn for her efforts to combat violence against Asian and Pacific Islander Americans and for being the first Vietnamese woman to go to space. Her journey resonates with me as a fellow Vietnamese American, making me believe that I, too, can contribute to America's civil rights progress,” Michelle says. “I believe that education and information are pivotal in improving outcomes for AAPI communities, particularly supporting understanding and appreciation while empowering individuals to celebrate their heritage proudly. For example, take the time to teach others how to correctly pronounce your name – a small yet powerful gesture of respect for individual identities.” #AAPIHeritageMonth
