For 4 years I have volunteered at the Asian Heritage Festival. This was my first year in the Miss Black Iowa capacity. The festival draws over 20,000 people each year. I had a wonderful time greeting guests for all nationalities and walks of life.
Often times, as Americans, our first image of an Asian is one of a Chinese or Japanese individual. At this festival, over 15 countries are represented. Patrons have the opportunity to take their food, view, their art, and get a genuine authentic feel for their culture
This event exemplifies the purity of embracing diversity. I can't wait until next year.
