Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Dreasjon “Sean” Reed, David McAtee, Tony McDade, and so many others. We say their names. We stand in solidarity. We demand justice. We honor the members of the Black community who have been robbed of life, as well as the living who are fighting to breathe today.

I grew up in a large Chinese-American family in San Francisco without realizing that Asian people were considered a minority in America.  Living a sheltered life, I never questioned either being Chinese or American.
