Change is possible, even if it takes time. When I was younger, Asian men couldn’t legally marry white women.
Now look at me. I married a white dude.

#NYP observed a moment of silence to remember the victims of anti-Asian hate crimes. We also want to be loud & clear: We stand w/ the #AAPI community & refuse to stand by in the face of heinous acts of anti-Asian violence & racism across #NY & the U.S.: https://t.co/sS3JAojLpI
A small business. A vigil. A neighborhood. A club. A party. A grocery store. In seven days there were seven mass shootings, as everyday gun violence has taken countless lives.
For many Asian-American women, the suggestion that the Georgia gunman was motivated by racism or sexism, not both, fails to recognize their reality: the two have always been inextricably intertwined. https://t.co/oSZlzY5FE0

A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.
