I've been really reflecting The Past Couple Of Months on the importance of just people from the Chinese diaspora being part of the solution to this, like pervasive anti-china rhetoric, because you're right, it is coming from all sides, like there's conservatives and progressives who are who are saying Anti-China things...
When the world feels heavy, it's conversations like these that remind us of our shared humanity. In this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', host Jay Shifman sits down with activist Tessa Xuan from Ohio Progressive Asian Women's Leadership (OPAWL) and receives a heartfelt shoutout from Gabe Kalubi. The discussion centers around the renewed wave of anti-Asian discrimination and its impact on mental health and community solidarity.
Tessa opens up about her experiences as an organizer during these challenging times, sharing insights on how the Chinese diaspora can contribute to meaningful change. Jay and Tessa dive into the power of listening and the significant role community organizing plays in combating prejudice. They highlight how even small acts of kindness can ripple through communities, fostering resilience and hope.
Wrapping up with Jay's signature 'Choose Your Card' segment, this episode is a poignant reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the importance of standing together against discrimination.
