The Digital Herstory Project, co-sponsored by the Asian American Psychological Association (AAPA), Division on Women (DoW) and DoW Southern California region, is an ongoing interview series to preserve the leadership, perseverance, dedication, and history of Asian American female psychologists. Inspired by similar projects conducted by the National Latinx Psychological Association and Le Ondra Harvey who interviewed the "Father of Black Psychology," Joseph White, the Digital Herstory Project increases the visibility and representation of Asian American female psychologists to the psychological professional community and prospective individuals interested in pursuing mental health careers. This interactive panel will share the wisdoms learned from the living legends we have interviewed and invite discourse regarding the importance of preserving the histories of ethnic minorities in such similar manners to increase coalition building across diverse groups. Audience participation will be encouraged through guided reflection exercises related to webinar development, including creating engaging content, selecting the appropriate technology, marketing the webinar to the target audience, and how to utilize webinar footage to develop other media such as digital exhibits and films.
