AANHPI Heritage Month: “This body is (not) a virus" by Jireh Deng

In celebration of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we introduce our AANHPI Heritage Month video series spotlighting prominent AANHPI spoken word artists and poets. We kick things off with “This body is (not) a virus” by Jireh Deng.

HRC celebrates and honors Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month with a video series that aims to spotlight the beauty, talent, boldness and resilience of the AANHPI community while also highlighting the intersectionality of LGBTQ AANHPI identities and communities. The inspiration for this campaign arose from the intent to create platforms for LGBTQ AANHPI voices at a time when legislatures across the U.S. are targeting LGBTQ people and when AANHPI people are experiencing unprecedented levels of hate-filled harassment and violence.

Our AANHPI Heritage Month campaign consists of a spoken word video series in partnership with Asian American Writers’ Workshop and Youth Speaks. The videos, featuring three young LGBTQ AANHPI spoken word artists, bring visibility to the legacy of issues impacting people who live at the intersections of LGBTQ and AANHPI identities.
