Through action and perseverance, my mom taught me what it meant to stand up for what was right and to stand with your community. I wouldn't be who I am without her. In these recent moments of tragedy, I find myself coming back to those lessons more than ever. #StopAAPIHate

I cried twice this week. Once when young woman told me “Mom was my sanctuary.” Her mom was among 8 killed in Atlanta. I cried again when I saw video of Filipino mom kicked in face in NYC. Amidst tragedy, let’s pay tribute to AAPI moms who give us strength (THREAD) #StopAsianHate
