Celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month: A Q+A with Angela Thi Bennett

In May the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) celebrated Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month with the theme “Bridging Histories, Shaping Our Future.” We close out this month by chatting with Angela Thi Bennett, NTIA’s first-ever Director of Digital Equity. "NTIA's work is crucial in addressing the digital divide, which disproportionately affects certain populations, including Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. By promoting policies and initiatives that enhance broadband access and digital literacy, NTIA helps these communities gain better access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. This work ensures that all individuals, regardless of their background, have the tools they need to succeed in a digital world."
