what it's like to be Asian American from stereotypes to covid-19

Update (3/18/21): With the recent news of the shooting in Atlanta, we wanted to share a few thoughts. The crime is being labeled as a “sexual addiction” and “not racially motivated”. First let’s set the record straight that racism and sexism can be intertwined and this is the experience of many Asian American women. Next, most hate crimes against the Asian community during the pandemic have been directed at women — and violence against women is a pervasive issue that continues to affect all of us, no matter your race. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families and we stand in solidarity with all women as well as the AAPI community.

In light of Women's History Month, we wanted to share our personal experience on what it's like being Asian American women, especially with the recent rise of hate crimes against AAPI folks during COVID-19.

Though our experiences only reflect that of East Asian Americans and we recognize that intersectionality plays a huge role here, we hope that you can join our discussion and start some of your own.
