Be brave, friends. Today while I was out grocery shopping, a stranger, completely unprovoked, decided to say racist, xenophobic insults to me. He told me that they were building a wall and to go back where I’m from, multiple times with spite in his face. I am an American citizen. I was born in the United States and have lived here my whole life. And I am Asian. I was shocked and terrified, and now, angered. There is no place for racists in the U.S. I belong here, and I will fight for equality for as long as hateful people like that exist. I will be at the Women’s March on Washington tomorrow.
Thank you all so so much for the supportive messages. I’m so proud to have marched with you all, and with you all in spirit, at the Women’s March in Washington. I was among so many strong individuals of all different colors, making a stand for equality, love, and our future. I hope we made it clear today that we will fight for our rights, and our voices will continue to be heard.
