At Minds Matter Southern California, we honor the rich tapestry of our community by celebrating the Lunar New Year, a festival cherished by diverse cultures around the world. From the vibrant dragon dances of China and the intricate tea ceremonies of Vietnam to the beautiful Hanbok attire in Korea—each tradition adds a unique color to the global mosaic. Filipino communities add their own flair to the celebrations with delicious feasts and family gatherings, while many Latino and Indigenous American cultures celebrate with vibrant dances and community festivities. Our organization's strength lies in this very diversity. Together, we embrace these traditions, learning from each other and fostering an inclusive environment that values every voice and story. Join us as we welcome the Lunar New Year with open hearts and a shared commitment to celebrating the beauty of our diverse community! #LunarNewYear #CelebrateDiversity #MindsMatterSoCal #GlobalTraditions (fb)
