ANCHOR - A New Chapter: Home, Origins, Resilience Speaker Panel 5/8/25​
​
May is AANHPI Heritage Month. It is a time to honor the vibrant cultures, resilient histories, and diverse contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. Every tradition, personal story, and collective achievement weaves together to form a rich tapestry that shapes our nation’s identity.
The National Organization of Minority Architecture Students at UW invited our very own Alex Rolluda to tell his story as part of the ANCHOR - A New Chapter: Home, Origins, Resilience Speaker Panel. He was featured alongside Tanya Kataria, Sergio Max Legon-Talamoni, and MC Van Le. The conversation included their experiences with migration, challenges they’ve faced in their journey, their definition of “home,” their opinion on the Asian diasporic communities in the built environments, strategies for addressing unconscious bias, and the impact of architecture on AANHPI communities. Thanks to @nomasuw for including us in their celebration of AANHPI month and creating a space for folks to share their stories.
At RAl, we cherish the opportunity to collaborate with our AANHPI colleagues, whose passion and expertise enrich both our work and our community. Their contributions remind us that true innovation blossoms when diverse perspectives come together. We honor their legacy this month, and every month, and look forward to a future filled with shared success and continuous growth.
