Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is a month-long celebration to recognize those who have paved the way in American history, culture and more. At Taco Bell Corp., we strive to learn more and lean into conversations that build on our passion of driving positive impact within and outside our Taco Bell community.
What our Live Más CREAsians Employee Resource Group has planned this month is a great example of how we come together and consistently strive to be a place that has equity, inclusion and belonging for all. Each week they will share what AAPI Heritage Month is all about, recognize those who have shaped civil rights for others, showcase our very own AAPI community at Taco Bell, and share stories about their culture through art, food, and music.
Get an inside look into who the Taco Bell AAPI community is and the influence they provide each day
