Our final article in a series of three for LILIPOH magazine, The Importance of Reciprocity is out now, in the Summer 2025 issue. Authored by Alma Partners colleagues Masumi Hayashi-Smith, Aiyana Masla, and Joaquin Muñoz, the series addresses questions and concerns related to cultural appreciation and appropriation.
In our first article (Lilipoh, Fall 2024), we looked at how power impacts cultural appreciation and appropriation. The second installment in the series (Lilipoh, Spring 2025) explored the importance of relationships in moving from cultural appropriation to appreciation. The third article (Lilipoh, Summer 2025) dives into the idea of reciprocity, and the many ways we can build and bolster reciprocal relationships and move into interactions that center appreciation and exchange.
