YOU EAT YET! 🥢🍚
FULL CAMPAIGN, OUT NOW!

⭐️ Meet all the models that made our “You Eat Yet” campaign possible ⭐️

🫂 In creating this campaign for #AsianHeritageMonth, we did an open casting to find Asian representatives to volunteer their time in participating in our cultural potluck lunch and wear their traditional garments.

📧 After receiving over 15 applicants, we accepted them all to join us in sharing their cultural dishes, experiences, and stories at a shared table, featuring a photoshoot and a candid podcast-style video.

💭 Our #AsianHeritageMonth Campaign titled “You Eat Yet” captures a range of experiences and stories told by participants from across the Asian diaspora, sharing deep connection and cultural roots in a potluck-lunch style that is candid and authentic.

⭐️ “You Eat Yet” is a campaign that brought together Asian-Canadians from different cultures, backgrounds, and lived experiences to reflect on what it means to gather, share, and be seen. Through cultural dishes, traditional garments, and conversations around identity, the series celebrates the many ways culture is carried, preserved, and lovingly passed around the table.

🫂Featuring participants representing the Philippines, Vietnam, Nepal, China, Hong Kong, Guyana, Bangladesh, South Korea, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka.

“WHAT DISH DID YOU BRING?” 🍚❤️

⭐️ We invited members of the Asian diaspora to share their name, where they’re from, and the dish they brought to the table.

🍜 From family recipes to cultural staples, each dish carries a story of home, tradition, memory, migration, care, and the many ways love is passed down without always being said.

🥰 At the table, food becomes a language of its own, speaking to family, culture, belonging, and the quiet ways we are cared for.

➡️ Through every dish, we are reminded that culture is not only inherited but also shared, preserved, and lovingly passed around the table. Across the Asian diaspora, food is more than something we eat; it is how we gather, how we remember, and how we show love.

STAY TUNED FOR THE FULL CAMPAIGN! ✨

Meet (some of) the team behind our movement and all our #FlauntItFriday events! 🤩

As #WomensHistoryMonth comes to an end, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible women and femmes behind our work, including our interns.

We’ll be pausing our #FIF events for the month of April in order to rest, recalibrate and prepare for our summer programming. Stay tuned for lots of new posts to recap our events from this year 😉

✍🏽 BIG WORDS FOR BIGGER HAIR
— Poem written by Juné (Part 6)

…These roots bring unimaginable creativity
They hold my achievements and accolades
They soothe any ache, like ginger and honey
My huge hair searches for huge words
But in reality, they were already there
The best way to describe my roots
that wave hello to the sun

Beautiful words for my beautiful hair.

✍🏽 BIG WORDS FOR BIGGER HAIR
— Poem written by Juné (Part 5)

…It clings onto fingers
A strong hold on the teeth of plastic combs
An ever-changing bouquet of roses
Protector of my ethereal brain
It’s a testimony to my beauty…
