This May, Kendo honored AAPI Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month by partnering with small businesses to curate a month-long program. Together, we emphasized mental health awareness and celebrated the beauty and unique intersections of AAPI culture and well-being. Kendoites enjoyed a community lunch, a series of wellness offerings like chair yoga and a wellness workshop led by a local, AAPI-woman founded company. Through examining traditional Asian wellness practices across the diaspora, we sought to cultivate understanding and inspire daily wellness habits. #AAPIHeritageMonth #DEIB #KendoBrands #LVMH
