Reclaiming Asian identities and narratives for the next generation.

Despite misconceptions, there has always been a st

Despite misconceptions, there has always been a strong presence of LGBTQ+ practices and gender-defying ritualism in Asian history stretching back thousands of year. Acceptance of queer people is not a "Western idea" and LGBTQ+ rights and the West don't go hand in hand; its time we recognize, celebrate, and reconnect with Asia's increasingly forgotten traditions of tolerance and inclusivity. Part 2 coming soon.

For our sixth post about the Asian American Pacifi

For our sixth post about the Asian American Pacific Islander heritage month, we are giving the spotlight to LilyPichu, a Korean American content creator and artist. Best known for her YouTube channel and Twich streams, Lily has gained popularity over the years through social media, becoming a prominent figure in the community.
@lilypichu

This month, we’re spotlighting API figures and groups in celebration of API Heritage Month to honor and celebrate the people who have shaped our history. This week, we’ll be focusing on API Authors to Artists and everything in between. Early API artists and entertainers encountered a culture and industry that required them to portray a narrow, stereotypical caricature or hide their ethnicity to avoid discrimination. Today, we finally see many API artists from around the world breaking out into mainstream audiences beyond the API community along with rising stars finding an outlet on social media and the internet. However, the fight for authentic, diverse representation of our people and narratives that goes beyond the bare minimum continues. This week, we are honoring Asian and Pacific Islander artists, creatives, and entertainers whose work and performances have amplified API stories from around the world.

For our fifth post for the Asian American Pacific

For our fifth post for the Asian American Pacific Islander heritage month, we are spotlighting Celeste Ng, a Chinese American writer who has written underrepresented cultures into literary history with her two novels: Everything I Never Told You, and Little Fires Everywhere. Often associated with the phrase “literary thriller”, Ng has been recognized as a New York Times bestseller and a beacon for readers alike.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the jokes on dog

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the jokes on dog-eating Asians have seen new life. Most of us view these jokes with righteous indignation as we have simply never eaten dogs. But where do these stereotypes and jokes originate from? And how does racism cloud discussions of such practices?

In the third post to highlight API activists, lear

In the third post to highlight API activists, learn about Yorm Bopha, the Cambodian land rights activist who led women to protest against the development of their homeland. The 38-year-old mother of one was jailed on three accounts and never lost her will to fight for her cause.

If you would like to learn more about her and her cause, check out the documentary ‘Mommy’s Land’, which highlights the struggles of land rights activists in Cambodia.

This month, we’re spotlighting API figures and groups in celebration of API Heritage Month to honor and celebrate the people who have shaped our history. This week, we’ll be focusing on APIs in Action. Rarely shared are the stories of those within the Asian and Pacific Islander community who have stood up against racism and injustice and shaped a much fairer society. Japanese internment camps, U.S. genocide and enslavement of Filipinos during war and colonization, the brutalization of South East Asia during the Vietnam War, and U.S. aggressions against Polynesia and Oceania are just some of the many events throughout history that APIs have tirelessly fought against. Today, API struggles continue; anti-Asian sentiments are on the rise, and APIs across the globe are standing in solidarity with other racialized minorities to fight against gentrification, racism, sexism, classism, police brutality, and capitalism. APIs have a long history of intersectional activism and have joined global liberation and independence struggles throughout time. This week, we are honoring the revolutionary efforts of Asians and Pacific Islanders from around the world.
