Ah, my heart! 💛 such beautiful words! I always feel POC and Black communities have soo much strength together. I grew up having a lot of respect for Chinese culture, especially qigong — my dad’s sifu taught him a lot about holistic health and healing. As a result, I owe my perspective on wellness it. while it’s tough seeing anti-blackness at times, i still believe there’s solidarity! Thank you for sharing 💛🌻
Sam, this is incredibly insightful, and I completely agree. Asian Americans often taken our status for granted. Unfortunately, some of that has come at the expense of our black citizens. We stand on their shoulders to rise above, and most don't even realise it. In fact, most Asian Americans seem pretty ignorant of our own history, which isn't completely our fault, either, but we could do a far better job of seeking out more information.
You are so, so smart. I pray our forebears continue to push us forward. May our friendship, cross-cultural solidarity, and dedication to our communities be empowered by their knowledge and sacrifice. And may we leave behind work, art, and legacy that carries us all forward.

Your last sentence—yes! We owe it to, frankly, even ourselves to seek out the info! Thank you so much 💛
