@Jenniferwheel @HuffPost If Asian American activists are using the slogan then it’s pretty hard to misunderstand the meaning of the slogan regardless of its origin. After a year with so many hate crimes reported Asian Americans are finally getting some media coverage instead of being ignored.
@NPR@NPRCodeSwitch The Chinatown episode of Taste the Nation with @PadmaLakshmi was a perfect way to spark a conversation about immigration, discrimination and perseverance with my kids who are proud to be 1/4 Chinese. The only drawback is the 6 year old is now saying “butthole” thanks to @aliwong
@Black_Nile@jason_kish@NYGovCuomo So if we’re using logic and studying science then why would a worker that can do their job behind plexiglass or from a distance be eligible before those workers that have physical contact with clients? We’re doing our best to stay safe but there are variants spreading in nyc.
Our need for self care shouldn’t put anyone’s life at risk. That is why this week I asked our State & City gov. to expand eligibility for vaccines to include barbers, & beauty & nail salon workers, as their high risk jobs make them susceptible to COVID!

@GeffPat@NYGovCuomo This is not true. Maybe you���re thinking of “public employee” which means a government worker. Other public-facing workers in restaurants and grocery stores and hotels are eligible but hair stylists are not yet (even though our job requires touching people).
@NYGovCuomo Please make salon workers eligible for the vaccine- it’s scary to work for long periods of time a few inches from people’s faces. We’re doing our best to stay safe but our job is touching people. We need the vaccine ASAP!
