I hate that I have to say this. But I belong. We Asian Americans belong. I was born & raised in the U.S. I am as American as apple pie & I am as American as Korean barbecue. I am American. Please don’t question me about that fact. Ever. (15/15)

This is bully-on-the-playground behavior that’s been used to humiliate & ostracize many of us in the #AAPI community, as children and even as adults. And this behavior was replicated at the very top, by the Chancellor of a higher learning institution during a commencement speech.

You’re right @PurdueNorthwest Chancellor, “We are all human.” Yet what you did was de-humanizing: Singling out the Asian race and ridiculing our many cultures and languages, diminishing who we are, on stage.

Last week I was covering a mass shooting in Atlanta. This week we are covering a mass shooting in Colorado. Is it normal now to transition from one killing spree to the next? Tragic in so many ways

And how many of us out there now, out of habit, feel more comfortable wearing a mask, especially in airplanes or in grocery stores? Despite being fully vaccinated. I have 100% faith in the science. It’s the mindset that we will have to re-train.

Our new CNN boss made it a point to spend the day w/ us at the Asian American Journalists’ conference, emphasize to fellow journalists their voices are crucial, meet for over an hour with the @aaja leadership, and spend quality time w/ his CNN team. I’ll just say it meant a lot.

I’m kinda proud of this. My son’s hand-me-down jammie, a hand-me-down handed down by his sister, a hand-me-down handed down her friend. The original owner is probably 18 by now. 🤣 #Recycle

When a Georgia election official, who is a Republican btw, needs “police protection” after administering a free and fair election AND hand recount of the votes, that says a lot about the state of our democracy...

They preached hard work, tenacity, and kindness as the keystones to succeeding in your goals. They were right. Mom and dad this is for you. I’m living my dream because of you.
