This meetup is designed for writers who identify as Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI). This group has been active since October 2022, and we've had successful public showcases in May 2023 and May 2024. These meetups allow new and familiar AAPI writers to get to know each other, while coming away with some focused writing and fruitful discussions.

This session will be led by Porch Director of Education Yurina Yoshikawa! Asian snacks will be sponsored by the local nonprofit API Middle Tennessee.

These affinity group meetups are free to attend, but we compensate our facilitators to ensure a high-quality experience and a safe, welcoming space. If you’re able, please consider making a donation of $10–$30 at this link to help us sustain these valuable programs at The Porch.
