The #veryAsian hashtag is so powerful because we’ve turned a racist insult into our collective Asian pride. We’re redirecting #StopAsianHate & #StopAAPIHate to celebrate our Asian-ness. What a great way to start 2022! You give us anger, we cultivate community love & pride. 😉
THREAD: My law firm is publishing something I wrote to its internal webpage. Here it is in thread form:
sad & exhausted. this year of scapegoating & attacks should drive home the fact that there is no refuge to be found in "colorblindness." in proximity to whiteness. in striving to be the model minority. we have to hope & fight for everyone to be safe, for everyone's liberation.
Our hearts are with the families of the AAPI women slain yesterday. Hatred is infectious and cumulative - it begins w pejoratives about race and evolves into acts of unspeakable violence. We must do more than condemn. Our responsibility is to protect and defend. By word and deed.
This violence against our Asian American neighbors is from the mouth of hell. Hate acts. It does not stay confined to the heart & mind. It incites the tongue. Untreated, it travels to hands & feet. Hate is murderous. (1Jn 3:15) Stand against it. Speak against it. Pray against it.
I am not okay today. 😢
To our Asian neighbors, family, and friends. I know that the world seems more scary today. More cruel. Know that we love you. We mourn those killed last night in Atlanta with you. We will dismantle white supremacy alongside you.
This is for Chrissy. I love and cherish you and our family so much. We’ve experienced the highest highs and lowest lows together. Watching you carry our children has been so moving and humbling. youtu.be/b1UkquKdJng
The replies on this are so telling...just proves that ppl know so little about the impacts of transracial adoption. Also, how they must spew vile things when anyone asks a pointed ? who has actual lived experience as an adoptee. Plz get away from me with the “better life” stuff.
I don't know any Liberals/Progressives rejoicing over rioting, looting, or property damage. We're actually grieving that white Conservatives value windows, cars, and storefronts more than black human lives—and will do anything not to see, name, or confront systemic racism.
I don’t have to respond whenever provoked. No one does. Steward your energy well. We have justice work to do. And self-care to prioritize.
Defund the police? Here's an example that you're benefiting from right now. 1/9
I will either respond to your email immediately or three years from now
Every marriage has one person who doom scrolls and reads headlines out loud pre-coffee, and another person who is begging them to stop
as a transracial adoptee and the parent of a wonderful autistic kid, I hope these people eventually come to understand and feel the full weight of their heartless & indefensible decisions, although it will be too late to do Huxley one ounce of good twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews/s…

We took this photo months ago, but tonight I just needed to give my husband some shine. We’ve endured a horrible 15 day stretch of a couple viruses cycling slowly through my very pregnant body and it has left me… instagram.com/p/B30lAevgWa-/…
Proud of my dear friend for sharing her truths on such a large platform. @theadoptedlife you are an inspiration. #flipthescript

Today in church, we dedicated Neiko Israel and Zephaniah Eric. One of my long held hopes to have Neiko’s mom be a part of this special day came true. What a tremendous moment for our family. As we continue to grow… instagram.com/p/B3A0x-IguSQ/…
