The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), in partnership with Asian American Writers’ Workshop (AAWW) and Youth Speaks (YS) is hosting APA OUT LOUD, a spoken word video series in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM).

The series, on HRC’s Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts, features three young LGBTQ APA spoken word artists, Lauren Bullock, Caitlyn Clark, and Jireh Deng, performing original works that bring visibility to the legacy of issues impacting people who live at the intersections of LGBTQ and APA identities.

APA OUT LOUD also features the illustrations of Meg, a young Asian American, trans, non-binary artist. The series arose from the intent to create platforms for LGBTQ APA voices at a time when legislatures across the U.S. are targeting LGBTQ people and when APA people are experiencing unprecedented levels of hate-filled harassment and violence.
