🌟 Meet Lili, a Y Kids team leader at the Morrison Family YMCA. Lili, who has been a part of our Y family for 19 years, takes immense pride in being knowledgeable about her own ethnic background, which in turn makes her more aware of the beauty in diversity around her.
🌏 During AAPI Heritage Month, Lili celebrates by exploring local markets and sharing the flavors of Indonesia with friends through delicious homemade meals. 🍜
🙌 Lili believes it's important for others to understand the significance of heritage as a part of their identity, shaping who they are and providing a deep connection to their ancestry!
