Note: I can't believe how many people think racism "is getting better" or STILL think it's "fake news".
Ask almost any AAPI today. They'll tell you differently. I see so many vids. Read emails/DMs. Just b/c it's not in the news doesn't mean it's not happening #stopaapihate
The man continues to say โthatโs why you all need to go home.โ
Prior to this, Christine says she told the man she wasnโt Chinese. He kept asking her if she was Japanese then Korean.
She wants to spread the word so others can be be on the lookout in the area. #StopAsianHate

Christine was running errands in Daly City 12/9 when she says a man honked & asked her why so many Chinese ppl go to the plaza #stopaapihate ๐งตโฌ๏ธ
@jinkding even though we did not run against each other, I learned much about you and your world. @aaja finances are now in your hands. I will do my best to support your stewardship moving forward. #AAJA#AAJA20#AAJAFEST
The biggest statement comes from the men whose work is showcased in the DVD. Crawford says she played the video for co-workers at ABC and โjust watching the intro, they got it. They understood why someone would put together a DVD like this. Why it was even necessary.โ

FACTS: 2002 @AAJA commissioned Annenberg School of Journalism study showing the โmissing manโ problem.
25 major markets found about 100 Asian-American reporters and anchors, only 20 of them men. Women outnumbered men 5 to 1. @GenePark

MORE GIRL POWER:
Cheng and Crawford, both based in Washington, D.C., collected, reviewed, and edited the tapes. Crawford didnโt log her volunteer hours, but estimates she devoted โmost of the month of March โ every weekend, after work whenever I couldโ to the effort.

FOLLOW UP STUDY: @TVYipster thank you for putting in sweat equity on this โMen of @aajaโ DVD nearly 20 years ago. ๐
Much respect E. Samantha Cheng and Sonya Crawford! Time for follow to see where we stand. @Poynter

@leezeltanglao we know about all the hard work and hustle you do behind the scenes. Especially all the money you have raised for the @aaja Trivia Bowls in various chapters and markets. Keep training the next gen of Leezelโs. We canโt do this alone.

THANK YOU! A month ago, running a campaign wasn't on my radar. So this spirited effort to run for office at #AAJA has been a blast. While we fell short, I have nothing but gratitude for all the support. Heck, I got @vicleeabc7 to say my name publicly. I'm good for life now! 1/x

Congrats @juliachanb & @jinkding! Yโall are definitely very qualified and that was never doubted. Not one negative thing was ever said about yโall.
I hope this election has made @aaja VERY aware of the issues caused by YEARS of division/lack of representation
ACCOUNTABILITY 10: @aaja we are all journos. We are the Fourth Estate. We demand fair and accurate coverage in communities of color. We hold the powerful accountable. Fam, we gotta use these same standards to look within and examine our own org for the greater good.
#AAJA20
CONGRATS: I want to wish @juliachanb the best as she focuses her efforts on being the new @AAJA VP of Civic Engagement.
I also want to thank everyone who voted in the election. Especially my team and supporters. Your voices have been heard!

ACCOUNTABILITY 9: Iโm a proud 2018 ELP grad. Moving forward, letโs make sure every grad can get into a virtual salon. Cโmon, itโs virtual. And I want to see a pipeline created for ELP grads to start leading this program. We need more diverse voices.
