Mia is a proud recipient of the 2022 Neighborhood Access Program Grant.

"Let Me Tell You: Stories of Asian American Authenticity" features 7, eclectic storytellers from the Asian Pacific Island Desi American diaspora in Chicago.
They'll share their personal perspectives on what it means to be authentic during these challenging times of heightened hate crimes against Asian Americans. This show is not to be missed! This project is partially supported by Neighborhood Access Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events and by the generous underwriting of Barbara Levy Kipper.
