    Ep. 19 Let's Detox with Writer & Activist, Emily Taing

    Happy Wednesday everyone! This episode is a bit different as we touch base on the rise of the #StopAsianHate movement in the United States. This week Gabby & Erina interview practice support specialist, but also writer & activist, Emily Taing. Being an Asian-American in Los Angeles, California, she has first handedly been subjugated to experiencing racism. Listen in on her experiences throughout her life and the right approaches to take action. If you would like to connect with her, feel free to follow her IG, @em.taing , as well as her Medium for future pieces @em.taing (https://medium.com/pinkboxstories/pink-boxes-unfolding-into-an-unlikely-symbol-of-resistance-524078d53be5). She is also working on a short story with NPR about Immigrants of Color in America so if you are interested in more content by Emily, stay updated by giving her a follow. What can we do to stop targeted hate crimes both in the US & abroad: 1. Distract – Address the attack with distracting comments, put yourself between the situation 2. Delegate – Address those around you to intervene. Ask for help 3. Delay – Stay back and check in on the victim of the harassment 4. Direct – Ask the victim if they are okay, address the attack that to leave the victim alone 5. Document – Film, be a witness Other Actions: •Talk with family, friends, coworkers. •Create spaces for these discussions other than just the news outlets. •Hollaback Bystander Intervention Training (https://www.ihollaback.org/bystanderintervention/) Online Resources: •https://stopaapihate.org/about/ •https://www.aabany.org/page/933 •https://advancingjustice-aajc.org Non-Profit Organizations: Asian American Advancing Justice Asian American Legal Defense & Educational Fund Instagram Resources: @AsianAmericanCollective (music, media, creative space) @AsianBossGirls @AsiansForMentalHealth (Dr. Jenny Wang) @AAPIWomenLead @AntiRacismDaily
