In August of 2022, the OK Justice Circle teamed up with OKC's Asian District Cultural Association to host their fifth "Breaking Bread" event. This time around, it was a luncheon to discuss how the issues of race in our community affects our vibrant Asian-American community in OKC.

By building relationships and pressing into hard conversations, participants made connections that we hope will enrich our community moving forward.

Look for more breaking bread events in the city throughout the rest of 2022!
