Exploring Mental Health Stigmatization within AAPI Communities

My final project for SOC 349: Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities was a creative capstone of poems about the mental health stigmatization in Asian American communities. This course followed the history of different Asian American groups and their different journeys into the United States.
