nickelodeon celebrates asian pacific american heritage month



I don't watch a whole lot of Nickelodeon, but this is pretty cool... As we shut down the month of May, check out this great youth-oriented Nick News program, "Who Am I" -- featuring some really cool kids -- that the channel aired in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month:

Nick News: "Who Am I" S1



It's really well done, covering a wide spectrum of young faces, voices and issues from the AAPI community. Also check out this cool collection of videos featuring young poets sharing about influential Asian Pacific Americans.

Big props to Nickelodeon for producing these videos. Shout out to Linda Ellerbee (and her orange sneakers) and all of the awesome kids who participated in these segments. I hope we'll see more of this kind of programming in the future. (Thanks, Stephanie.)
