Review: Ayaskala May Mini Issue

Ayaskala continuously succeeds in respectfully uplifting voices surrounding the de-stigmatization of mental health, whether with their bi-monthly columns or issues. In respect to May being acknowledged as Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month, this mini-issue was compiled only with Asian-Pacific Islander voices. At first glance, Meenakshi Kanojia’s cover art is mysterious and inviting. Smoke cover
