A Language of Our Own

I’m convinced that building a language for Asian American experiences is one of the most important tasks for us today.

What do I mean by language? I mean the words and concepts used by a community to express, reflect on, and engage our experiences. Without a language, Asian Americans tacitly accept norms that are assigned to us, even if they don't work for us. Without a language, we let others define our own reality. Asian Americans as the "perpetual foreigner" was a concept that helped me make sense of my experiences living in the US. That's one of piece of the growing vocabulary for the Asian American community.

The Honor Summit is a non-profit organization that exists to center the voices of Asian American women and all women in the Church and in the world.
