Thank you for the spotlight!

This week's affiliate spotlight features Layavinyasa, who "chose the word 'belonging' because through [their] performances, festivals, stories, and community programs, [they] want Connecticut’s diverse Asian communities to feel seen, valued, and recognized as an integral part of the state’s story."

We appreciate all the hard work you put into this commemoration!
