This conversation between three Asian American women will honor the spirit of AAPI month, and encompass debunking the stereotypes cast upon Asian women, the result of colonization, and the intersection of education and health to empower women as they navigate the ever changing, and ever challenging political and social landscape of the 21st century.

About Teance -

This unique tea house began nearly two decades ago as a passion project amongst friends in Berkeley, California, with the goal of providing a context for our customers to experience the finest teas in the world. We wanted to create a space to bridge the gap between the ancient and long-refined tea culture of the East and the tastes of the West, through traditional tea service, education, and storytelling.   Learn more.

Celebrate Women's History Month with an inspiring journey through "The Book of Awesome Asian Women" and a gourmet tea tasting with author Karen Wang Diggs. Visitors will also participate in a fun, guided writing exercise to help you start telling your own story.

The first 25 attendees get a free copy of the book.
