To all my Asian-American sisters and brothers – I just wanted to say – don’t give up. It’s Asian-American History Month, and we have a long history of giving and creating. When people tell you you’re weak, when they exclude you, when they refuse to tell your story – GET LOUD! Tell your OWN story. Do it better than some rich motherfucker with a bespoke suit and no creativity EVER could. Do it for the ancestors that suffered for us and do it for the children that need us to blaze the way. Do it for yourself, because your story is valuable and NEEDS to be told!
