10 Asian Americans Share Why They Celebrate Their Asian Heritage and Families

As an Asian American, I feel so lucky to identify with two cultures. I'm Korean, and though I was born in the US, I grew up mostly in Korea, where my parents and grandparents always taught me to value our family, culture, and traditions. From the food we eat and the way we respect our elders to our everyday values and celebrations, everything ties back to family, which is the most important thing I've learned from my own family.
