This week Dr. Jenny Lau and I took the conversation on a experienced level as we discuss the Black-Asian divide. To find a compromise, the community of colors needed to hold a forum so that everyone could begin to recover and appreciate cultural differences. These senseless actions had to "end" because they, too, are humans.

Originally from CanadaGETTING THE ROOT OF THE ASIAN AND BLACK DIVIDE
Being miles away in your origin is a major adjustment considering the differences in culture and skin color. There is always this line boundary between the Black and Asian communities that still an issue that needed to be voiced out and addressed. To heal is to share.
Asian Hate Crimes: The trauma it caused for all Asian during the incidents brought an uncomfortable and unsafe feeling in the country they are in. Black Lives Matter: We have seen the incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people.
Many people made a protest and seek for justice. We all deprived by, what the society told us. But we forget about the emotion that it brought to them. That’s why, regardless of what community you are in, it’s important to check on someone. It’s easy to reach out and check on people if they are okay. Stop looking for the differences, start seeing the fairness that they deserve. However, the question here is;
How can we heal from this situation? Stop the stigma. Our soul, our heart and our deeds determine us. We don’t have exclusivity when it comes to our culture and skin colors or whether you are Asian and Black. Stop the culture of hate and instead lift and empower each other.
Racism is a decision we made and a perspective we put in our mind. We need to be mature enough to stand solidarity. There is no right or wrong, only a different perspective.
Perceptual Position: First position, put your shoes into someone and embody the emotions, thoughts and feelings. Imagine that it is happening to you. Second position, Absorb and look. You will able to see a different perspective.
It takes a courage for everyone to open up their own experiences and share it to someone. Healing takes time and that is okay. It is okay to feel the emotion but don’t let it take control over you.https://www.thejennspirit.com
