How are we supposed to mourn and celebrate at the same time?? Lunar New Year is sacred to us. Iโ€™m desperately trying not to cry because I was brought up with the tradition that anything that happens on LNY sets a precedent for the rest of the year.

We can't talk about #MontereyPark without talking about Domestic Violence in the AAPI community. The subject is still taboo but we must uplift AAPI survivors. According to @apigbv 55% Asian women in the U.S. report intimate and/or sexual violence in their lifetime. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿชก

In Vietnamese, consolation is called โ€œchia buแป“nโ€. The phrase translates to โ€œdividing sadnessโ€. The community divides up the pain to ease the burden of grieving. Last night we paid our respects to the mass shooting victims at Half Moon Bay and picked up our share to chia buแป“n.
