Last week, 8 people (6 of them Asian women) were killed at three different Asian massage parlours in Atlanta, Georgia. There has been a significant increase in anti-Asian sentiment, as well as an increase in assaults against Asians since the rise of COVID-19.

Like many of you, the last few weeks have weighed heavily on me. Now is not the time for my voice, but I wanted to share why I feel so strongly about the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Regis Korchinski-Paquet and countless other BIPOC who have died at the hands of the police.
