Making MKE a place where
AAPIs can thrive by being
unapologetically Asian.

WHO WE ARE
ElevAsian is a collective of AAPIs in the Greater Milwaukee area who strive to elevate the visibility of people, business and issues in the AAPI community. We do this by celebrating the successes and shining a light on the challenges facing our AAPI community. We build bridges of understanding by sharing information, experiences, and stories that bring us together.
WHAT WE DO
