...or the submissive, domestic “Lotus Flower” in Chester M. Franklin’s The Toll of the Sea. She played many of these stereotypical roles in various features for years following her success. (4/4)

We can’t talk about Asian visibility without mentioning the first ever Chinese American film star in Hollywood - Anna May Wong. You may have heard that she is a part of the Daughters of America quarter series being introduced from 2022-2025! 🧵 (1/4)

Despite her stardom, Hollywood was reluctant to create starring roles for Anna May. Film producers capitalized on her fame but relegated her to typecasted, often stereotypical roles such as the hypersexual, devious “Dragon Lady” in Douglas Fairbanks’ The Thief of Bagdad... (3/4)

A third-generation Chinese American from Los Angeles, Anna May was the first Asian series lead in American TV history with her performance in Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong. (2/4)

We will do our best to encapsulate and dissect the complex topic of the When, How, Where, and Why of AAPI Women Stereotypes.

If you have stories of perpetuated stereotypes or have questions about this topic, please share it with us! (3/3)

Submissive. Docile. Quiet. Obedient.
How did you feel when you read these words? 😣

When asked to provide words to describe Asians and Asian Americans, many provide answers such as “Smart”, “Intelligent”, “Hard-Working”, and “Nice”. (🧵1/)

The American stereotypes of the Asian women, however, are historically far more toxic. If you are at all wondering… how did these AAPI women stereotypes come to be, and what can we do about them? Well… this series is for you! (2/3)

In 2020 I talked a lot about the AAPI vote - the historic surge in turnout that delivered key states for Dems, including GA, NV, and AZ. So what are seeing in the early vote this cycle?

We stand in mourning and in solidarity with Buffalo and with Black people everywhere.

Hate incidents harm Black, indigenous, and communities of color in multiple ways. It is essential for us to stand together.

Honored to speak at this White House event on equity. It's a great start, and there is much work to be done together with the Biden Administration.
