In this episode of Amplify Our Advocacy we sit down with 13-year-old fashion designer/accidental activist Ashlyn So. Ashlyn's designs have been featured in New York's Fashion Week TWICE! Recently she has been working on designing masks for healthcare workers during this pandemic.  With the rise in AAPI hate crimes in the US, Ashlyn decided to step up and organized her first rally in San Mateo on February 27th. Since then she continues to spread her message to end all hate crimes in her activism and fashion designs. During our episode, Nikita talks with Ashlyn about her journey through the fashion industry and her plans to expand her designs in the future. While also talking about her choice to stand up against in protest of recent anti-Asian hate crimes. Including the recent murder of 84-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee and her views on the hate crime.
