CELEBRATING THE ART OF
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AANHPI.
In 2025, Hella Good Deeds and Café Cà Phê welcomed over 3000 guests to The Art of Being AANHPI, Kansas City’s 5th Annual AANHPI Festival. This year’s theme was a nod to the legendary Yayoi Kusama and her polka dots. We represented over 20 sponsors, hosted over 40 local small businesses, and were featured in numerous local publications. Making space for Asians and other marginalized groups has been part of Hella Good Deeds and Café Cà Phê’s mission. It’s because of this that we celebrate what it means to be AANHPI.
