 Welcome to the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Civil Rights Forum. Our goals are to host and facilitate conversations on important Asian Americans and Pacific Islander (AAPI) civil right issues and other critical topics. We want to shatter stereotypes, promote cultural awareness, and build bridges in our community with local, state, and federal government agencies that will help create a dynamic social environment that recognize the advantages of unity and strength in our differences. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Asian American Commission and the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Boston Area Office invites you to this (non-political) forum and hope you will leave this event more empowered to embracing the synergy that will strengthen us. This forum is created by your community for our community. Keynote Speakers for this year’s conference include: - Douglas Hsu, Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office - Kim Yonghyon, Consulate General of the Republic of Korea - Rokuichiro Michii, Consulate General of Japan. We will also feature a networking session and a luncheon plenary with members of the Massachusetts Asian American Caucus.

Five Simple Steps for a Successful Day
Check out the success tips from Debbie Lyn Toomey, RN, author of The Happiness Result.
The 5 magic words are: List, Star, Time, Celebrate, and Gratitude.
Debbie Lyn Toomey, RN is the founder of Health & Happiness Specialist™. She is committed to helping busy women by teaching them practical knowledge and skills sets that will best guide them to the road of a balanced, healthy, and harmonious life.
Member of the Month:
Claribel Wu
Claribel Wu, currently studying English at Brown University, is interested in exploring storytelling as a place where activism, artistic creation, and healing can intersect. She created a short film featuring AAPI students on how they relate to their mental health through identity, culture, and creative outlets. From close personal and familial encounters with mental illness, she’s dedicated to prioritizing mental health and destigmatizing mental illness, especially for the communities of color.
Last summer, as an intern for the Center for Mindful Learning, she deepened her understanding of how mind, body, and spirit are interconnected. As a newcomer to Boston this summer, Claribel is hoping to expand her understanding of holistic health needs by working with AWFH as a summer intern and participant in the program, Achieving Whole Health.
On campus, she’s worked as publicity chair for Asian American Political Alliance, the literary editor for VISIONS Magazine (AAPI literature and arts publication), a mentor with Asian American Mentoring Program, and does podcasting, videography, illustration, and journalistic work with a variety of student publications.

AWFH Self-Care Video Project:
Recruiting Asian Women for Interviews
Asian Women for Health is working with Nikita Sampath, a multimedia journalist to produce a short video on Self Care within the Pan-Asian community.
The goal of the project is to
- Spread awareness on the existing ideas of self care and traditional medicine within the Pan-Asian community, and
- To bring awareness to the Pan-Asian and larger communities regarding the importance of practicing self care
Toward the same, we are looking for volunteers to answer simple questions on their ideas of self care. We are also looking for expert opinions on
- The ideas of mind, body, spirit connection and the traditional approach to health
- Preventive-care as a form of self care and Asian attitudes towards it
- The importance of self care and what happens when it is not present
Any questions regarding the project can be addressed to Nikita Sampath at nikita.v.sampath@gmail.com
Seeking Participants:
Breast Cancer Study for Young Women
Exploring Medical Preferences of Women with Estrogen Receptor (EMPOWER) is a study that is being conducted by researchers at the University of Massachusetts – Boston (UMB) and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). We are interested in speaking to young women who have been diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer to gain a better understanding of women’s thoughts about taking oral hormonal treatment, such as tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor, and their current experience with such treatments. We will screen interested women to check whether they are eligible to participate in an English or Spanish interview about their experiences with oral hormonal treatment.
Interested women should:
- Have been younger than 45 years of age when diagnosed with breast cancer
- Identify as Black, Latina, Hispanic OR are experiencing financial stress
- Have a history of Stage 1, 2, or 3 hormone-receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer
- Have completed chemotherapy and/or radiation, between 6 months to 2 years ago
- Have no evidence of breast cancer recurrence
This will be a one-time phone interview; all information will be strictly confidential, and a $40 gift card will be sent to participants after the interview as a thank you.
Interested in participating or learning more about EMPOWER?
- Call 617-582-7942 or 617-287-7174
- Email empower@partners.org or empower@umb.edu
- Visit https://www.umb.edu/gokids/empower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recruitment for the third cohort of Pathways to Wellness, a Dana-Farber study about wellness after breast cancer, will begin this summer. The study, conducted in collaboration with the University of California Los Angeles and Johns Hopkins University, compares how mindfulness meditation or survivorship education meet the common needs of young survivors. Eligible participants are women who were diagnosed with early-stage (0-III) breast cancer at or before age 50, and are within 5 years of diagnosis.
If you are interested or would like more information, please contact the study team: 617-582-9706 or PathwaysToWellness@partners.org.

Early warning tool for breast cancer prediction in southeast Asian women
A researcher at The University of Nottingham Malaysia is collaborating with scientists at Cancer Research Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom to develop a new early warning tool that could help to predict which women in South East Asia are most at risk of developing breast cancer.
The work of Dr. Weang Kee Ho in the University's Department of Applied Mathematics could help to find out whether it is possible to target expensive mammographic screening at women who are most likely to be affected, enabling doctors to detect the disease in its early stages when it is most treatable.

From the Archives
by Jerry Zheng, Tisch Summer Fellow
What did Chinese restaurants serve in the past? How did Chinese restaurants attract customers before the age of Internet? CHSNE’s collection of Chinese restaurant matchbooks and menus can be used to answer these questions and more.
Scrolling through the collection brings one’s mind back to a very different time. One immediately notices the many non-Chinese dishes. Today a Chinese restaurant serving “french fries”, “bread roll”, or “southern-style fried chicken” would probably raise a foodie’s eyebrows. But this was a common practice in the past for Chinese restaurants to cater to non-Chinese palates. One might also be surprised to see the prevalence of Polynesian food in Chinese restaurant. It’s not uncommon to see restaurants with a Chinese name serving “Chinese-Polynesian dishes” or “exotic” Tiki drinks. This reflects the post-war American society’s fascination with Polynesian food, a trend harnessed by many Chinese restaurant owners. It’s also interesting to study how restaurants employed various oriental and Chinese motifs to decorate their menus and matchbooks in a way that might be branded as “stereotypical” by a modern observer.
The collection demonstrates American society’s perception of Chinese cuisine and its evolution over the past decades. It also documents the personal history of many enterprising Chinese Americans rising to the challenges of the era.
Clockwise from top left: Tiki drink menu from Trader Vic's, circa 1970s; menu from Cathay House, noting the 10 cent charge for bread and butter, circa 1960s; menu cover from Cathay House, circa 1960s; part of CHSNE's matchbook collection.

Calling for Participants for Research Study
Exploring Medical Preferences of Women with Estrogen Receptor (EMPOWER) is a study that is being conducted by researchers at the University of Massachusetts – Boston (UMB) and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). We are interested in speaking to young women who have been diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer to gain a better understanding of women’s thoughts about taking oral hormonal treatment, such as tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor, and their current experience with such treatments. We will screen interested women to check whether they are eligible to participate in an English or Spanish interview about their experiences with oral hormonal treatment.
Interested women should:
- Have been younger than 45 years of age when diagnosed with breast cancer
- Identify as Black, Latina, Hispanic OR are experiencing financial stress
- Have a history of Stage 1, 2, or 3 hormone-receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer
- Have completed chemotherapy and/or radiation, between 6 months to 2 years ago
- Have no evidence of breast cancer recurrence
This will be a one-time phone interview; all information will be strictly confidential, and a $40 gift card will be sent to participants after the interview as a thank you.
Interested in participating or learning more about EMPOWER?
- Call 617-582-7942 or 617-287-7174
- Email empower@partners.org or empower@umb.edu
- Visit https://www.umb.edu/gokids/empower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recruitment for the third cohort of Pathways to Wellness, a Dana-Farber study about wellness after breast cancer, will begin this summer. The study, conducted in collaboration with the University of California Los Angeles and Johns Hopkins University, compares how mindfulness meditation or survivorship education meet the common needs of young survivors. Eligible participants are women who were diagnosed with early-stage (0-III) breast cancer at or before age 50, and are within 5 years of diagnosis.
If you are interested or would like more information, please contact the study team: 617-582-9706 orPathwaysToWellness@partners.org.

Early warning tool for breast cancer prediction in southeast Asian women
A researcher at The University of Nottingham Malaysia is collaborating with scientists at Cancer Research Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom to develop a new early warning tool that could help to predict which women in South East Asia are most at risk of developing breast cancer.
The work of Dr. Weang Kee Ho in the University's Department of Applied Mathematics could help to find out whether it is possible to target expensive mammographic screening at women who are most likely to be affected, enabling doctors to detect the disease in its early stages when it is most treatable.
