"Carrying Home: Asian American Identity, Memory, and the Stories We Inherit" with Steven Okazaki

• April 9 
• 5:30-7 p.m.
• Hetzel-Hoellein Room, Stewart Library, 91·çÁ÷ Ogden

As part of Weber State University’s AANHPI Heritage Month theme, “Journey, Memory, Home: AANHPI Stories Across Time,” this event features Steven Okazaki, an acclaimed Asian American storyteller whose work centers lived experience, intergenerational memory, and the meaning of belonging.

Through reflection, storytelling, and dialogue, Okazaki explores what it means to carry “home” as an Asian American—across migration, displacement, and generational change. Drawing from personal narrative and community histories, he highlights how memory is preserved and passed forward through story, art, and cultural practice, even when physical places shift or are lost.

This event invites students, faculty, and community members to consider how Asian American identities are shaped by journeys across time and space, and how storytelling becomes an act of preservation, resistance, and connection. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how “home” lives not only in place, but in people, memory, and shared stories.
