This session will be a special, two-part event with an hour of silent reading and an additional journal exercise on Texan Asian American identity. Attendees will have the opportunity to socialize with other book readers and share their experiences during a facilitated discussion. We will also be highlighting our reading list, compiled of Texan Asian writers and poets.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a book from our reading list! Though any book on AAPI/POC identity is welcome.
