    Would love to read a long form story about these Asian American Movement women. Who are they? I know the woman in the center-right foreground is Evelyn Yoshimura, long time community organizer . Who are the others?

    I came across some archival photos while reporting this story that made me rather emotional, perhaps bc As Ams are seldom reflected in the media in such a relatable way. For example, these badass Asian American women (photo courtesy ):

    Yes! So glad that wrote about Gidra, a radical Asian American mag started in the '60s. I have a copy and would show it to new staff at bootcamp (which was an Asian American Studies crash course.)

    On Feb. 9, 2017, 17 year old Quanice Hayes was shot in the head by Portland Police. This is the story of the last day of his life, police who say they have no good way of deciphering between real guns and fakes, and a family still searching for answers.

    Read this whole thread about sexual abuse, imbalance of power and injustice in South Korea. Thank you for translating, .

    A S.Korean prosecutor appeared on live TV yesterday to tell a story of being groped/sexually abused by a senior DA in public as other DAs & Justice Minister were watching. Her career went down the drain after reporting the abuse. The alleged groper went on to become a star DA.

    None of this would be possible without the editors, mentors, colleagues, friends, and family who encouraged, challenged, pushed me all these years to keep trying, to get better. It truly took a village to make this journalist and I am forever thankful. Now, the work continues.
