(This post will be updated regularly as more resources become available)
I'm out of words. I seriously am. I am gutted right now.
As an Asian-American myself, I am going to make it as short as possible because I can't even process through my brain at the moment to sentence-dump. As time progresses though, I will edit as needed and will include even more resources at the moment.
To my fellow AAPI friends, let us grieve together. Let us never forget the night of March 16th. Let us not forget the 6 of 8 Asian lives we lost in three separate shootings last night, two of which happened in Metro Atlanta.
Regardless if you are AAPI or non-AAPI, please consider donating to these causes! Continue to educate yourselves on how to combat anti-Asian hate, and definitely have conversations about them too.
(Oh, and please continue to wear your masks and practice staying 6 feet apart from other people. This virus ain't done yet.)
And if you need to lend an ear, my DMs are always open. It will take a while for me to respond, but know as always, I will try responding as quick as I can!
