Writer, director and producer Ash Perez headlined this year's Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Month keynote event on Monday, April 21. "Exploring the APIDA-Verse with Ash Perez" offered a chance for attendees to learn more about the unique experiences Perez has lent his perspective to, from writing for shows on ABC and Freeform to releasing an original audio book.
