Emily reflects on her anger to the recent Atlanta shootings and the uptick of anti-Asian hate incidents and crimes. We take a deep look into the racist policies that have dehumanized the Asian diaspora, the fetishization of Asian females in media, and the issues with policing and Asian-Black tensions. We end with resources and strategies you can utilize NOW to engage and support our community.

Please take care of yourselves - we all process differently. But after processing, it's important to take ACTION in your local communities to protect our elderly, our families, and our friends. 

We are not insignificant, and we are not a statistic.
