It’s a project we started in 2021 and since then we’ve told you about everything from local K-pop dance classes to AANHPI voting initiatives to award-winning restaurants. We’ve also spotlighted Central Florida DJs and hip hop artists, “disease detectives” and physicians.
The increasingly growing and diverse population has made its mark on Central Florida in the bustling businesses of Mills 50, on performing arts stages across multiple counties and even among the stars studied by NASA.
