Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders: We are not the same

September 1, 2023

From DIGITIZE (by Kahea) – A big struggle that many young Pacific Islanders deal with is finding their identity. As a teenager, you are already at an age where you are trying to learn about yourself and who you are—your identity. It can be hard to find where you fit in, how to act around others who don’t understand you or your Pacific Islander heritage. Sometimes it may feel like you’re living in two worlds, where in one you are comfortable being who you are and who you were raised to be, and the other you are the person that blends in the crowd.
