During Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, the Board of Legislators in Westchester County took the time to recognize and honor three small business owners for their outstanding contributions and impact on the community. Among the honorees was Dr. Yung Yi Diana Pan from Hastings-on-Hudson, who has been recognized for her exceptional achievements and dedication to promoting inclusivity within the community.
Lili and Sam (Mun) Moy, who own a business in Rye, were also acknowledged for their generosity and positive influence on the local town. These recognitions serve as a reminder of the importance of celebrating and recognizing the diverse voices and contributions of individuals during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in Westchester County. It is a time to appreciate and honor the valuable contributions that members of the Asian Pacific American community make to enrich the cultural tapestry of the county.
Dr. Pan’s accomplishments include advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare, as well as promoting health literacy among underrepresented communities. Her work has had a profound impact on her patients’ lives, helping them access quality healthcare services despite language barriers or cultural differences.
The Moy family’s business has become an integral part of Rye’s fabric, providing a unique shopping experience for locals while supporting local artists and craftspeople. Their commitment to giving back to the community goes beyond just their business practices; they have also volunteered their time at various events throughout Rye town.
These recognitions highlight not only Dr. Pan and Lili/Sam Moy’s individual contributions but also underscore how small businesses play an essential role in shaping our communities. By celebrating these entrepreneurs’ successes, we can appreciate their hard work, resilience, and dedication to making Westchester County a better place for everyone.
In conclusion, it is crucial that we recognize Asian Pacific Americans during this month as they continue to contribute immensely to our communities’ rich cultural tapestry. By honoring individuals like Dr. Pan and Lili/Sam Moy, we can create a more inclusive society where everyone feels valued and respected regardless of their background or heritage.
