Embracing Our Differences Michigan is excited to share highlights from our recent Washtenaw Avenue Dine & Donate restaurant series. Over the past few months, we gathered at locally-owned restaurants to enjoy delicious cuisine from around the world while building community and sparking meaningful conversations across cultures. Read on for recaps of our visits to China Palace, Cuppy’s Soul Food, and Casablanca.

Members of the Michigan Taiwanese Association joined Embracing Our Differences Michigan for a shared meal and community gathering at China Palace. Manager Theresa Yang and the restaurant’s owner were gracious hosts for the evening, generously supporting our Dine & Donate fundraiser. Guests enjoyed authentic Chinese dishes while making new connections.
