We\u2019ll hear directly from them about their lives, the safe spaces they\u2019ve created to live their truth, and how we can be better allies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>And then we listen.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because more than ever, stories that celebrate our differences need to be heard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Amplifying a scope of cultures<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This May, we take the time to celebrate Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders\u2019 crucial role in our shared history. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) encompass over 50 distinct ethnic groups spanning a variety of heritages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we amplify their voices and stories, it\u2019s important to recognize the many individual differences experienced within each unique culture. Beyond Asian American and Pacific Islander Month (AAPIM), educating ourselves on diverse cultures helps to eliminate stereotypes and broaden perspectives so that every person\u2019s unique story can be embraced with an open mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what we\u2019re doing to recognize AAPIM at Hearts &amp; Science:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hearts Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Wellness Class: Monday, May 13, 2024, at 3 p.m. EST<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The art of mindfulness is deeply integrated into Asian daily life and culture. Practice and learn about the diverse traditions rooted in AAPI culture and experience the benefits of centuries-old healing practices such as meditation. This class will equip us with the tools to reduce stress and increase a sense of peace, calm, and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The ALN Presents: Get Caked: Tuesday, May 14, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. PST<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To celebrate AAPIM, the Asian Leadership Network (Omnicom Media Group\u2019s Business Resource Group) will host a fireside chat with executive leaders from Reddit and Omnicom, who will discuss the diverse identities within the AAPI community and how to move beyond simplified stereotypes. Attendees will also create pancake art in honor of AAPIM.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><strong>Safe spaces to share<\/strong><\/h1>\n<h2><strong>How daily walks have transformed Rowena\u2019s perspective<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the early 1970s, Rowena\u2019s parents immigrated from the Philippines to the U.S., where she was born and raised. She describes her upbringing as \u201ctypical\u201d for a Filipino family\u2014family-centric with an unspoken pressure to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During Rowena\u2019s early years, her parents expressed shared dreams of coming to America to create a better life for themselves and their children. Her parents made a lot of sacrifices, which often came with reminders for her to achieve\u2014to study, get good grades, and make money so she could buy a house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving to the U.S., her parents had to acclimate to their new surroundings. With that, the Filipino language and many other traditions weren\u2019t passed on, while certain traditions became part of her upbringing.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>\u201cOne tradition that is ingrained in me is Family, which I\u2019ve passed on to my girls. Family is everything. You take care of your elders and be respectful.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Rowena, this tradition often meant putting others\u2019 needs before her own. Yet, she\u2019s found guidance and new perspectives among her colleagues at Hearts &amp; Science, where she feels accepted in a diverse group. They\u2019ve encouraged her to set better boundaries, both personal and professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1000009899.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-70150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1000009899-1024x851.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1000009899-1024x851.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1000009899-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1000009899-768x638.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1000009899-1536x1277.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1000009899.jpg 1848w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day, a colleague suggested Rowena take a walk outside to help manage her feelings of stress and isolation (during remote work at home). \u201cI could hear the birds. I could breathe in fresh air. I was away from the computer. It really was a recharge.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking was eye-opening for her. What started as a caring suggestion from a colleague has become so much more. Today, daily walks are Rowena\u2019s safe haven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some of Rowena\u2019s pressures to achieve continue to build through adulthood, daily walks have been an opportunity for her to reflect, find balance, and break free from people-pleasing. She now seeks out time in nature as a way to de-stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an adult, she has a better appreciation for the strictness her parents provided growing up. In some ways, this structure has helped her to hit deadlines at work. But, as Rowena has learned healthy personal boundaries, it\u2019s this balance that she hopes to pass on to her daughters\u2014a strong work ethic paired with healthy boundary setting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, Rowena\u2019s two daughters have started to show interest in their Filipino heritage. As a result, Rowena has developed a curiosity to learn more about her roots. She\u2019s turned to reading books about traditions and food and asking her mom to share stories of her upbringing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re working on setting healthy boundaries, think of what you\u2019d say to your younger self. Know that you don\u2019t need to take everything on your own shoulders. Rowena shares, \u201cIt\u2019s ok to speak up and ask for help. Everything will turn out ok.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Gaurav learned to thrive in diversity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gaurav grew up in India and was one of three children in a middle-class family. As a youngster, Gaurav recounts that he was always very active\u2014in academics and also in sports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, he made the courageous decision to come to the U.S. to pursue his master\u2019s degree as an international student in Information Systems at Pace University. He knew he had a special passion for data analytics, solving puzzles, and uncovering helpful insights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Gaurav first arrived in the U.S., he acknowledged that he felt a little bit lonely and, for a while, was self-conscious about his communication skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>\u201cWhen I would speak to people, even if I would say something with nice intentions, I was still never sure how they would react.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In India, he explains that people are quite accepting of others from different regions and religions, but at the end of the day, they\u2019re all Indian. So, being in the United States, which has so much ethnic diversity, was a totally new experience for Gaurav.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-70125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-3.jpg 810w, https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-3-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-3-768x971.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>\u201cIn university, I had to do project work and teamwork, so that kind of exploded my bubble. It was forced, but it was a good thing.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he found himself in New York, in unfamiliar social territory, his drive for growth kicked in. He began putting himself out there through networking events and trying to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just talk to people<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more, even when they had different backgrounds. Gaurav was able to bond with a handful of others who were \u201cin the same boat\u201d as him\u2014in a new culture, far from home. He feels these connections offer him a safe space to be himself, and he still keeps in touch with those friends today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To his delight, Gaurav was surprised to find little commonalities between his culture and others. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, when he first tried Latino food with a friend from South America, he found the flavors and spices reminiscent of Indian food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-70100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"757\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-4.jpg 757w, https:\/\/hearts-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Image-4-222x300.jpg 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a previous manager who was from China, he realized they shared a family-oriented attitude, where children often live in the same house as their parents into adulthood. Despite differences, Gaurav learned to connect with diverse groups over these commonalities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gaurav notes that the culture at Hearts &amp; Science has also been very warm and welcoming and that people go out of their way to make him feel comfortable. He explains that in India, at work, you only do tasks that are asked of you. He appreciates the fact that at Hearts, new ideas are welcomed by leadership and voices are heard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Gaurav isn\u2019t working as a Data Analyst on the Marketing Sciences team at Hearts, he enjoys playing tennis and exploring new places in nature by hiking and camping. He can also be found sampling the good Indian food from restaurants in his neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gaurav<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">believes that in order to get over the fears of talking to others from different backgrounds, it helps to try to be a safe space for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">them<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cWhen I was still nervous in the beginning, I would try to offer other people a safe space, and usually you get that back in return.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Work should be a safe space, too<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearts &amp; Science is dedicated to building a space where its employees are recognized and feel seen. There are many ways we are supporting inclusion efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some initiatives that we\u2019re supporting:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participate in a network. Hearts &amp; Science invites employees to access Omnicom Media Group\u2019s Asian Leadership Network and have a voice in how the company supports Asian employees and allies. Don\u2019t have one at your company? Contact your human resources department and be the force for change that starts one.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attend upcoming company events. Attend every company event that you can. Learn, enjoy, represent your perspective, and share feedback on how your company can create truly inclusive programming. If you don\u2019t have any events, start some.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show your support. Hearts requested custom email signatures celebrating and supporting causes and heritage months throughout the year. They are now available to all employees. It\u2019s one small gesture you can make to colleagues and partners to show your support for the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What individuals can do:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Own up to mistakes. If you do or say something offside and someone calls you on it, your first instinct might be to go on the defensive. Instead, thank the person who provided the correction, learn from it, and move on.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share your platform. If you have a social media following and want to make a positive difference, consider sharing content from underrepresented voices. Amplifying the perspectives of others can help create empathy and understanding while also inspiring action.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore Asian\/Pacific Art.
