Happy AAPI Heritage Month

May marks the beginning of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. To celebrate, we highlighted over 200+ AAPI-owned brands — of over 3 million in the U.S. — that we think you should know about, many of which are inspired by their founders’ heritage and cultivate a sense of cultural appreciation and tradition. From beauty brands like Kulfi Beauty and Tower 28 to food and beverage brands like Brightland and Gr8nola, there’s no shortage of AAPI-owned businesses to support this month and beyond.
