A late 30s, oncology PhD, former film festival press/blogger who is jumping back into the blogging world. This blog exists at the intersection of relationships, culture, and activism with the goal to inspire a more thoughtful, well-informed, and action-oriented life.

Louisiana-born, resident of Atlanta who was probably British in another life. Hobbies include dancing like I think I’m still 21, listening to the same song on repeat 20x in row, avoiding cleaning my home, repeating words or phrases for emphasis, and being the only person that hasn’t seen ‘Hamilton’.

The recent hate crimes against the Asian and Asian Americans, a community being unfairly blamed for the COVID pandemic and the irresponsibility and selfishness of others in the spread of the disease, are sickening. Being in Atlanta, it really hit home with the recent Atlanta spa shootings. This is unfortunately apart of a bigger problem of POC being at the whim of a resurgence of white supremacy and POC drimination.

Join me in getting involved in and donating to organizations to show love and support to this community:

National Organization of Asians and Pacific Islanders Ending Sexual Violence (NAPIESV): a program that helps “local and international community-based programs and governmental organizations” in serving victims of sexual violence from Asian Pacific Islander communities in the US, US territories, in the Pacific, and Asia

Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAAJ): their mission is to advance the civil and human rights of Asian Americans and to build and promate a faire and equitable society for all
