Bij Nitro is diversiteit niet alleen een doel waar we naartoe werken. Het is een missie die ons oproept om een van onze fundamentele waarden te belichamen: Be Good. Mei is de Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, en dat vieren we door enkele geweldige nitronauten in de AAPI-gemeenschap in de schijnwerpers te zetten.
Ik ging zitten met Julie Gannon, Tiffany Farolan en Eric Salas om te bespreken wat deze maand voor hen betekent en hoe ze het vieren:

Paneldiscussie AAPI Heritage Month 2021
It’s important we do anything we can do to help broaden people’s perspectives on the whole Asian experience, and that goes for us as well, as there are so many Asian cultures that are represented under umbrella of the AAPI term, and we all have very different experiences, heritages, and backgrounds. [I have] a newfound appreciation around the breadth of that Asian experience.
Eric Salas, VP of Business Operations & Strategy
For me, the last month has been about holding my shoulders tall, being proud of my heritage, and being more open to talking about it… because people aren’t going to learn unless we’re willing to share.
Julie Gannon, Global Manager of SMB & MM Sales
This is the year of change, by looking inwards and understanding your roots [we] can help educate people, and ultimately become a better society... Being a member of the AAPI group has been amazing, it’s really connected me with my Filipino roots, and made me think about how I want to be represented as an Asian woman in leadership.
Tiffany Farolan, Senior Business Partner
