Community at Thumbtack - APAC Tacks

Julia

Introducing APAC Tacks, Thumbtack's Employee Resource Group for Asian and Pacific Islander employees. Their mission is to create a safe space of solidarity across diverse Asian identities. "When people think about ERGs, you might assume that all members of an ERG have a singular, shared perspective," says Joanna Chan, member of APAC Tacks. "In reality, I’ve learned that being Asian and a woman in tech can take on many forms. The key to belonging is being able to identify with each other through shared experiences, but also walk away learning from each other’s different viewpoints and stories."

This is exciting! We love seeing organizations commit resources to help build these communities and create safe spaces. We're curious, from Thumbtack's point of view, have AAPI pros or employees pointed out any particular challenges unique to this community?
