          • Combating Self Hate After Abuse... or that episode where I go to therapy

            Self hate is an issue I have been combating for years since my abuse.  After countless times of being torn down, broken, and encouraged to hate myself, breaking the habit is difficult.  

            Today, I am joined by Nancy Paloma, licensed therapist and mental health expert for a therapy session about self hate.  Why do we feel it?  How do we move on?  

            You can find Nancy on Instagram @paloma_therapy and her website https://palomatherapy.com/

                  • How Can I Help? AAPI Edition

                    How can I help?  Help myself as a survivor.  Help my friend.  Help my family.  

                    Knowing how to help survivors of emotional abuse and domestic violence is challenging.  Especially when the survivor is AAPI. 

                    Today, we break down how you can help.

                  • Shame on You

                    Many AAPI survivors face emotional abuse their families.  From a single perpetrators, or many at once.

                    The pressure they face leads to them hiding abuse to avoid community shame, stay in violent relationships, or continue the cycle in the future after years of the abuse being normalized.

                    It is a major aspect of AAPI abuse we don't talk about. For week 8 of our AAPI Army Campaign, we tackle this issue as well as reflect on the ways societal abuse mirrors cultural and community abuse.

                  • Judged For Existing in My Body: Unpacking the Crouching Tiger-Lady, Hyper-Sexualized Asian Geisha Doll Stereotype.

                    For week 7 of our AAPI Army campaign, we are joined by TEAD teammate Julia Grindstone for a deep drive into the Crouching Tiger-Lady, Hyper-Sexualized Asian Geisha Doll Stereotype.

                    Because although our culture has normalized the ¨I like Asians¨ fetish, this objectification of AAPI women adds layers of violence and vulnerability to our lives and has roots in racism, American Imperialism, and misogyny.

                  • Americas Next Top MODEL MINORITY

                    Anti-Asian hate crimes rose nearly 150% in 2020 according to NBC.

                    A mass murder in Georgia left 6 Asian women dead.

                    Structural racism against AAPIs routinely erases and minimizes our struggles and trauma.

                    For week 6 of our AAPI Army Campaign, we examine how society's treatment of AAPIs… and how it perpetuates violence against us.

                    As an advocate who works with AAPI clients, Yi Lam shares her experience and offers insight into specific barriers they face from their families, culture, and American culture.  Among them: language barriers, Anti-Asian Hate Crimes, and cultural normalization.

                  • I Healed My Sexual Trauma and Took My Power Back

                    Welcome back to week 4 of our AAPI Army Campaign.

                    Our next survivor has overcome child trafficking and familial abuse.  

                    As a child she was sold to a sweatshop.  As an adult, she worked as a stripper. Today she works with clients on emotional and spiritual healing.

                    We tend not to validate survivors who choose to participate in sex work... or sex in general.  However this is extremely important for the AAPI community due to historical and ongoing objectification and sexualization. 

                    Whatever a survivor chooses, it is their choice.  They have agency over their bodies and lives. 

                    And as allies and survivors… we are all about helping people recover and embrace their agency.

                  • You Try to Defend Yourself...but You're Labeled as ¨Disrespectful¨

                    Welcome back to week 3 in our AAPI Army Campaign. 

                    Our next survivor was fundamental to our campaign.  Stories like hers are what helped us contextualize and analyze our experiences.  Stories like this help us find words to convey and relate our trauma.  Realizing you are not the only one, and that someone else has felt what you felt and that you are not crazy… Stories like these help you find the words you are looking for.

                    Today we speak to Filipino survivor Naomi, who tells her story of familial emotional abuse, how she was able to validate her trauma, and the need to look at a survivor's experience from within their cultural framework.

                  • Survivors are Beat Down Before They Are Beat Up
                    We need to talk about the ugly side of Asian American Parenting. 
                    This week we are sharing our first survivor story as part of our AAPI Army campaign.
                    As a Filipino American, Goldie´s story traces a familiar through-line many AAPI survivors can relate to.
                    A lack of boundaries from parents as a girl.
                    Growing up in a culture that encourages you not to speak back to your elders.
                    Finding yourself trapped in domestic violence as an adult because you never had examples of healthy relationships.
                    Working hard to undo this emotionally abusive upbringing to end the cycle of violence for your future family.
                    Goldie´s story highlights many crucial elements when looking at emotional abuse, especially for AAPI survivors including:
                    How cultural influences can influence emotional abuse in AAPI families.  How childhood abuse can prime survivors for abusive partnerships as adults.  How childhood survivors of emotional abuse are at risk of perpetuating the cycle of violence when they become parents.
                    And, maybe the most devastating part, how this abuse can follow you throughout your life.
                    Welcome Goldie.  And Welcome to Week 2 of our AAPI Army Campaign.
