Macy’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month celebrations will
include special performances, food and other cultural elements with
a primary focus on moderated conversations covering beauty, media
and food. For these multifaceted conversations, an array of
nationally recognized influencers, as well as local cultural
tastemakers will join the festivities as featured guests,
discussing the impact, legacy and traditions that have helped them
succeed in their fields.
“Macy’s is thrilled to host this talented array of special
guests for our upcoming celebration of Asian Pacific American
Heritage Month,” said Jose Gamio, Macy’s vice president of
Diversity & Inclusion Strategies. “They are important, fresh
voices who bring unique and relevant perspectives to these
discussions and celebrations. We are honored to share their
important stories, foods and expertise in conversations about Asian
and Pacific American culture with our customers and
communities.”
Multi-hyphenate Eddie Huang will join the Macy’s Herald Square
event in New York City for a discussion about Asian representation
in the media. Huang, a successful chef, restaurateur, author, food
personality, producer and attorney, is also the man behind two
successful television ventures that highlight the Asian-Pacific
experience and representation in popular culture. His memoir, Fresh
Off the Boat, was adapted by ABC-TV for their hit primetime
television show of the same name, and he currently stars in
Viceland’s Huang’s World, a travel and food television show
exploring food, race, identity and multiculturalism. Food from
Baohaus, Huang’s Taiwanese restaurant in New York City, will also
be served at the event.
“Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is an important moment of
reflection, and I am excited to join Macy’s in honoring both the
heritage of the past and the innovation of the future,” said Eddie
Huang.
From a traditional Polynesian luau and a cooking demonstration
on the evolution of Korean food with chef Bill Kim to beauty
sessions with leading influencers Stephanie Villa of Soothing
Sista, Morgan Stewart of The Beauty Breakdown, and Jenn Im, Macy’s
Asian Pacific Heritage events will showcase a spectrum of
traditions and modern cultural influence brought forth by the next
generation of tastemakers in beauty and food.
