We will share the following questions during the Twitter chat:

Q3: In what ways are you seeking multiple, diverse perspectives from the AAPI community? What texts (books, media, music, podcasts, etc.) have been helpful to you in this aspect? #ĢTVchat [8:24 p.m.]

Q4: The AAPI community consists of ~50 distinct ethnic groups speaking over 100 different languages. Take a quick mental inventory of the texts you use that feature AAPI voices and faces. Who is represented? Who might not be represented? Who might be over-represented? #ĢTVchat [8:31 p.m.]
