Call me Isla Fisher the way I’m a confessing to be a shopaholic! Yeah, it’s a coping mechanism for how bad the world is right now, but I try to do harm reduction by not going ham in the big box stores. Instead, my compulsion has me roaming booths, tables, and dropping Venmo stacks all over small Austin-based businesses. That’s why I recommend “springing” into action for this event featuring over 20 local Asian American and Pacific Islander sellers. There’s candles, art prints, food, and more offered for this third annual market, as well as community resources who’ll be tabling like the Austin Asian American Film Festival and the South Asians’ International Volunteer Association. Shop responsibly! – James Scott
