Current Events

When thinking of current events, what immediately comes to mind for me is the recent shooting that resulted in the loss of multiple Asian American lives. As someone who was born in China and raised in the U.S. the news hit a nerve to say the least. Hate against the Asian community is not new and spiked when COVID-19 entered the picture, although the situation escalated significantly this month. Recently and in the past year I’ve noticed how people have taken to social media to spread information and overall raise awareness of the issue.
