Asians @ Unilever's AAPI Heritage Month Kickoff with Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company Performance and Boba

Programming example

It’s AAPI Heritage Month, and Asians @ Unilever kicked things off by bringing our community together in a really meaningful way. We had the privilege of hosting the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company, a group known for blending traditional Chinese culture with modern dance, creating performances that reflect the immigrant experience and celebrate identity, creativity, and diversity. Their performance beautifully brought together culture, art, and storytelling, showcasing how dance can connect different backgrounds and perspectives. The company’s work often bridges Eastern traditions with contemporary influences, highlighting themes like cultural heritage, inclusion, and shared human experiences.

What made the event even more special was the strong support from leadership and seeing so many leaders show up and engage reinforced how important these moments of representation and connection are for all of us.

The feedback was incredibly positive, and we wrapped up the event with refreshing boba 🧋 drinks, giving everyone a chance to relax, connect, and continue the conversation.

It was a great reminder of the power of community and the importance of celebrating culture together.

Special thanks to my work team.🥰

A big Thank you AU leadership team, super great volunteers and other BRG leads and team members for making this possible! ❤️❤️❤️
