I was introduced to mahjong at an industry mixer, discovering it to be an engaging alternative to poker, allowing chance and strategy to intertwine.
Though my parents viewed mahjong as a waste of time due to its gambling stigma, I found joy in its social nature, connecting with a new community.
With influencers and celebrities embracing mahjong, private clubs and events blossomed, turning it into a trendy social activity that celebrates heritage and connection.
Mahjong has transformed from a stigmatized pastime to a glamorous social event, bridging cultural gaps while creating welcoming spaces for Asian Americans to connect.
