Instagram post 17869660969747000 today I have no new words for the violence we keep witnessing against Black people in this country. today I have no new words for ways that Asian Americans have been complicit in this violence, despite the violence our communities face, too.⁣ ⁣ instead, I will leave here the words I wrote in 2017 after Akai Gurley, a Black man, was shot and killed by Asian American police officer Peter Liang – I’m heartbroken that it sounds as if I could have written them today, but that just means we keep fighting.⁣ ⁣ “Once, my dad told me that people in this country expect too much. He said the government did nothing for you in Vietnam. That our family is just grateful to be here, in America, where we don’t live in a war zone. Why ask for more when we’re doing alright?⁣ ⁣ He’s wrong, though. America is a war zone, just not in the same way. The state enacts violence everyday, but not through the most recognizable avenues. It is violence, after all, to build a pipeline through Native American land, threatening their water and therefore their source of life, for police to shoot Black children and adults without ramifications, for the government to repeal healthcare that disabled and poor people need to survive. It is violence to separate families with borders and to close our country to refugees with nowhere else to go.⁣ ⁣ To my family & [Asian American] community: Try imagining someone like Mike Brown as your brother. Try imagining Akai Gurley as your son, like you imagined Peter Liang as your son.⁣ ⁣ My grandparents and parents fled a war-torn country to make a better life in this one. In this way, they saved me. I think that activism is a way of repaying them, or maybe a way of paying it forward. A way of patching up a war-torn country so that their great-grandchildren can live better lives.”⁣ ⁣ #georgefloyd #ahmaudarbery #blacklivesmatter⁣ ⁣ (obviously this is not a post to talk about fashion but I must disclose that the dress & jewelry are #gifted)⁣
Instagram post 17857846108965291 graphics reposted from @domrobxrts // for my fellow non-black folks (and for myself, because I need this pep talk, too): you may feel outraged or sad or overwhelmed right now, because you may not know where to even begin with fighting systemic violence, police brutality, and anti-blackness. but all of us have an important role to play in demanding change. here are two quick ways to start today. deep breaths – we can do this. we must. #justiceforgeorgefloyd note: not all the offices on the hotline will pick up; most will allow you to leave a voicemail. keep calling & leave as many messages as you can!
Instagram post 17890320514540623 joining the quarantine birthday club 🥂 I was starting to feel (societally-imposed) anxiety about getting older and accomplishing certain things by a certain age, but this pandemic is teaching me that time is a construct lol⁣ ⁣ societal expectations aside, I enjoy the process of getting older. I feel more certain of myself each year, like I’m growing into myself. I like myself a bit more each year and I’m learning to love myself a bit more, too.⁣ ⁣ (took this photo on a drive to the coast, where we found a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the view. we didn’t make any stops along the way & wore masks when walking around)
Instagram post 17865741514826344 I regret not wearing cute shoes more often when I had places to go and people to see⁣ ⁣ these gorgeous strappy heels are by BIPOC-owned brand @zouxoushoes.

Instagram post 17876228059663717 let’s talk zero-waste periods! I’ve been using a menstrual cup for 5 years now and it has completely changed how I experience my period. I feel so much more comfortable with my body and its functions and fluids, and it saves so much money in the long run and reduces a ton of waste.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been wanting to try period undies and reusable liners for a while now, especially bc my IUD has made my period a lot lighter. I am really loving these @periodaisle briefs and their reusable liners that just snap onto your regular undies! they also just came out with menstrual cups.⁣ ⁣ @periodaisle is an incredible female-founded brand that makes gender- and size-inclusive sustainable menstrual products, with undies up to size 5X! I’m proud to partner with this brand that shares my values.⁣ ⁣ If you’d like to check Aisle out, you can use code ‘CAT’ for 15% off!⁣ ⁣ #sponsored
