Join us in our celebration of Asian, Indigenous Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander heritage during the month of May!

Culture and heritage are deeply connected, but distinct. Culture is a broad term, encompassing the shared values, beliefs, practices, and ways of life of a group of people. Heritage refers to the specific aspects of that culture — particularly those inherited or passed down through generations. Our team strives to honor the deep, enduring cultures that have shaped and continue to shape our communities.

In celebration of Asian Heritage we're bringing local author Frances Kai-Hwa Wang to Neighbor X Folk at Michigan Central for an intimate author meet, greet and book signing. The lyric essays in You Cannot Resist Me When My Hair Is in Braids deftly navigate the space between cultures and reflect on lessons learned from both young multiracial children and their elders, punctuated by moments rich with cultural and linguistic nuance. Ticket price includes a copy of this wonderful title and the chance to have it signed in person with the author.

Your ticket purchase includes a copy of Frances Kai-Hwa Wang's You Cannot Resist Me When My Hair Is in Braids.
