Truthfully, making an episode about Asian hate crimes and racism is tough.. But as an Asian American woman myself, I wouldn't feel right to disregard this topic. It's been heavy on my mind and in my heart. The world is cruel and scary. Racism has always been here way before the pandemic. What the pandemic did was shed its light and amplified the issue. The main way we can fight against this is by speaking up and using our voice. Asian hate crime is real and at its all time high.. And oh lets not forget, black lives still matter.

Peep your circle of friends, do they bring you light? Choose the people in your life very specifically. Because sometimes everyone in your life is not truly for you. Now ask yourself this, are you a good friend? Because if you want good friends, make sure you're one yourself.
