Yen Azzaro

There is growing evidence art plays a role in how we express ourselves, and ultimately, treat one another. That's why, for the first time in 2023, art will be part of the 21-Day Equity Challenge in Washtenaw County. WEMU's David Fair talks with local artist and equity activist Yen Azzaro, about using art to better understand implicit bias and racism's adverse impacts on the community around us.

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. In 2021, hate crimes against members of the AAPI community in the U.S. increased 339%. WEMU's David Fair sat down with local artist, graphic recorder, and BIPOC advocate, Yen Azzaro, to discuss her personal journey and how it informs the work she does to build equity and understanding.
