Let them eat mooncakes!

We may be in the middle of a late-Summer heat wave, but this weekend marks the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chinese and other East/Southeast Asian cultures.

Black History Gratitude

Each February, we celebrate Black History Month by honoring the contributions Black/African Americans have made to our society. The theme for Black History Month in 2022 is Health and Wellness, and in Santa Clara County, it is African/African Ancestry Health and Heritage Month. With that in mind, we want to recognize those serving on the front lines of the ongoing health crisis.

Weekly Gratitude: Diversity

We love living and working in the Bay Area, with so many cultures coming together and sharing celebrations year round. Wishing you a Happy Mexican Independence Day and Latinx Heritage Month!
