With all the terrible news about hate crimes against Asian people that is so upsetting, many of us gentler, kinder people are wondering what to do to send a message that we welcome AAPI people, admire or are a part of this heritage, and just can't stand all this nastiness.
Target, too, is doing what it can to change this awful narrative toward support for our friends, citizens, and fellow creators who are a part of this amazing community.
Target has pulled together a collection of brands created by people of AAPI heritage so that we can all more easily support them. And given how awesome these products are, this is super easy and fun and will make us all healthier and happier.
Let's shop, people!
