🤩 Meet Yusuf, the last inaugural recipients of the PEACE Change Maker Grant that we are featuring!

✨ With the $500 grant, Yusuf created a mental wellness event that boys would actually want to attend.

♟️ A lot of guys may not sign up for an event specifically about mental health or feel comfortable talking about their feelings, which is why Yusuf created an event focused on chess to give boys a chance to destress in new ways.

🌱 Learn more about Yusuf’s mental health project at Music for PEACE on Saturday, October 17th from 6-8pm at CBM Atlanta! Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the link in our bio or by scanning the QR code on the flyer!

✨ With the $500 grant, Asma created an event for teen girls at a local mosque.

On the topic of mental health for Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Youth 💗 Sharing here since many of you identify as AAPI youth living in Georgia, or may know someone who does + inviting you to support your local AAPI community at an upcoming event.

Yesterday, I had a very heart-filling experience hosting a community event, made possible with the AAPI P.E.A.C.E. Change-Maker Grant 💚. The purpose of the event was to create a space for AAPI Youth (and allies) to de-stress by learning the art of stamp-making, find a sense of community in a “chill” setting, and become aware of accessible mental health resources.

Common barriers that keep AAPI from seeking mental health services include: language/cultural barrier, lack of space for vulnerable conversations, and the stigma that surrounds this topic.

I myself relate to these struggles and did not grow up around a community that shared my cultural identity, but am thankful to have found support systems later on, through connecting with AAPI-focused grassroots and organizations, where I met some of my closest friends and mentors.

☮️ AAPI P.E.A.C.E., the organization that funded this event, works to provide culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate mental health services to AAPI individuals and families.

💌 YOU ARE INVITED:
To support AAPI P.E.A.C.E’s mission and join us at their Music for Peace 🎶 fundraising event this Saturday 10/17 @ 6:00-8:00PM (see flyer to get tickets) 🫶 Come support your local AAPI youth!

🔥If you’re looking for your people, this is it.🔥

Been scrolling past the Asian Men’s Youth Summit and wondering if you should pull up? Let’s talk. This isn't your average boring lecture.

Hosted by Raksha, ASA (@asianstudentalliance), and AAPI PEACE (@aapi_peace), we’re taking over a Saturday afternoon for pure community, mental wellness, and real talk on positive masculinity. Just chill vibes, good energy, and a solid space to connect. 🙌

⚡️ Here is exactly who is in the building:
• 🎬 The Film: A screening of Wokman with filmmaker Jeremy Thao (@jeremythao)—an intergenerational story on family, identity, and the real Asian American experience.
• 🗣️ The Breakouts: Real talk sessions on Asian American masculinity and mental health with Dr. David Kim (@davekim67) & Dr. Ethan Trinh.
• 📖 The Storytelling: Filmmaker (@pineapplecutpictures) Abijeet Achar (@abijeetachar) breaking down the trap of "chasing perfectionism" in our community.
• 🎤 The Talent: Music by Vikesh (@vikesh.wav), poetry by Sakar (@musingsforus), and the hilarious Phong Le (@the_phongle) holding it down on the mic with emcee vibes and improv.

🎙️ Huge thank you to Amun Datta (@commiehilfigerr) for the voiceover on this reel! Turn your sound ON to check it out. 🎧

📍 Lock it in:
📅 Saturday, October 24th | 🕒 12 PM – 4 PM
