Here's a @Flipboard Storyboard curated by @miaq that celebrates the work of photographers of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. Discover Corky Lee's documentation of Asian American activism, how Manny Crisostomo travels to capture images of Indigenous and Pacific Islander people, and more. “Our ancestors have been voyagers for millennia. I’m one of those voyagers 4,000 years later—except I get on an airplane, it’s a little faster!” says Crisostomo, who is Guam's only Pulitzer-winning photojournalist.
