Hi I am Eri Fujita and I am a Kode with Klossy alumni. I love coding and design and I am so grateful to be doing this hackathon!

Hi I am Alliya and I love experimenting with code, and design. I also hope to make change and impact the world in a positive way which is why I’m so thankful to be here, since this hackathon combines the two.

My name is Alice and I LOVE design, tech, and tinkering things! I also like taking apart pens in my free time.

​

Hello! I’m Luana, and I’ve recently discovered my passion for coding. I enjoy design and coding. I’m so thankful for this opportunity!

Issues we’re tackling today:

Underrepresentation

Misrepresentation

Ignorance

Conversity

The Asian community does not receive enough accurate representation of Asian identities and backgrounds..

When we do, we are often played out with stereotypes and we are portrayed with eurocentric features – This is not an accurate representation of us.

Time after time, issues faced by Asians and achievements from Asian/Pacific Islander identities are swept to side. We hope to change that.

Asians are some of the most diverse groups of people on earth yet many times people are surprised to see how different we are.

PEARL - because you’re just as special!

As a solution to battling underrepresentation, Pearl is a mobile social media app designated to uplift and promote people of Asian and/or Pacific Islander identity.
