About Us

AsiaCarolinas builds a bridge between East and West by celebrating Asian cultures and lifestyles and highlighting the greater Charlotte's region's Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. In doing so, we promote the strength in our diversity and the power of our unity. While our focus is on the greater Charlotte region, coverage includes items of interest to ur audience from the Carolinas, the Southeast, our nation, and the world.

AsiaCarolinas is designed to provide a positive and illuminating view of the AAPI community in this region, to be a resource for local Asian Americans, and to build community both within the local AAPI community and between Asian Americans and the broader community in which we live, work, and play.
