It’s so hard! If we look at psychologist stats (per APA), then about 5% of US psychologists are AAPI and only about 1% of those identify as men. And there’s no guarantee that they do therapy.

So much respect to every Asian journalist whose name was among the bylines we read today. And also it's so sad to see my friends reporting on these shootings. Can't imagine the trauma they have to face.

Saw a push alert as I took off from Incheon about a shooting. Didn't click and didn't think twice. Then landed in the U.S. & slept the whole day. Only to find out what happened on AAJA's gboard channel a day later. 😱

I for one am still haunted by the horror stories I’ve heard as a manager for ’s Black Journalists Therapy Relief Fund. Yet, Black journalists are living the stories. I often wonder if their situations improved post grant. But we all know s*** just don’t change on their own.

By this point, if any mental health in newsroom workshop still doesn’t include a Black woman or transgender speaker, I simply don’t know how to trust the organizer’s expertise on this issue. Have we as an industry learned anything since George Floyd’s death?
