This AAPI month, we’ve put together an ultimate AAPI Gift Guide of brands we LOVE. As of 2021, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) own approximately 9% of all businesses in the United States, according to a report from the National ACE (Asian American and Pacific Islander Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurship) and the U.S. Census Bureau. Our community needs support and it needs to start from us!
Feel free to bookmark this list to come back to for special holidays, care packages for friends, or even just to treat yourself. Support AAPI brands this month, and every month.
