"What happens after the music lessons stop? Cultivating your Asian American identity and preparing for a global future after Amy Chua Tiger Mother"
University of San Francisco Asian American Studies Department, Room University 503
San Francisco, CA
https://www.facebook.com/events/191494697590753/
So your Tiger Mother made you take all those piano lessons, Kumon, SAT prep classes, language school, and here you are. Now what? Asian American writer Frances Kai-Hwa Wang will offer some practical strategies to both cultivate our characters and prepare for a global future—how to develop a multicultural perspective, the importance of knowing our Asian American history, and the power of giving back to our communities through social justice activism. (Sorry, you still have to take more math.) The key is developing our identities as strong and proud Asian Americans.

Food for Thought series at Asian Cultural Center, University of Illinois, Urbana Champagne, IL
So your Tiger Mother made you take all those piano lessons, Kumon, SAT prep classes, language school, and here you are. Now what? Asian American writer Frances Kai-Hwa Wang will offer some practical strategies and hands-on tools to both cultivate our characters and prepare for a global future—how to develop a multicultural perspective, how to capitalize on our family backgrounds, and the importance of knowing our Asian American history. (Sorry, you still have to take more math.) In line with the U of I’s theme of “iUnite!”, she will also address the theme of belonging—about finding ourselves, finding strength in our communities, and the power of giving back through volunteering and social justice activism. The key is developing our identities as strong and proud Asian Americans.
