Hey folks!
Can you believe it's May already? Not sure where the time's gone! As we're gearing up for the second half of 2023, time to review the latest Fandom updates - let's dive in!
Asian American Pacific Islander Month
This May, Fandom is celebrating the contributions of Asian-American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) creators in the entertainment industry for Asian American Pacific Islander Month. The theme this month is Breaking the Mold, breaking down stereotypes and showcasing the incredible work of AAPI creators.
There are so many things Fandom has planned for the event, including an AAPI Spotify playlist, highlighting AAPI artists in a diverse range of genres!

Star Wars Day!
Last but not least, I posted a blog on Community Central celebrating Star Wars Day on May 4, highlighting why Star Wars is awesome and what folks can do to celebrate it. As a long time Star Wars fan, I had so much fun writing it and chatting to users as well as highlighting some years old SpongeBob-Star Wars fan art!
We also featured some TERRIFIC Star Wars trading cards in the blog - I'd really appreciate it if you could show them some love!
