I want to tell you about these Asian & Black solidarity stories @JessicaQChen & I did for @latimes. @diananguyenart's art is so beautiful & the video makes me tear up, watching @rtajima @DocMellyMel @zentronix talk & @ashlynso_ representing our future.🧵
latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…
After Atlanta spa shootings, @JessicaQChen wanted to film young Asian American activists. She found 13-year-old @ashlynso_ in Oakland organizing a Black & Asian solidarity rally, after the viral videos of Asian seniors being attacked were causing tensions.
latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…
The narrative that it was Black assailants attacking Asians didn't match the data. @rtajima & @zentronix released #SeeUsUnite May 19 Project, named after Malcolm X & Yuri Kochiyama's shared bday, to remind people of a history of Asian American solidarity

While I'm at it, gonna declare this @agnesconstante Appreciation Day on my Twitter 😂 cause today, we also learned she is a finalist for the @LAPressClub Solutions Journalism Award for her @timesocofficial series on "Improving healthcare access for Cambodians and Vietnamese" 🧵
Check out her stories there too, she does such important work for underserved Asian American communities. Also a collab between @DanielleRoseFox + @ReportingHealth + included 4 listening sessions w/ Cambodian & Vietnamese Americans about mental health.

Story 1 of the 3-part series!

Despite a presence of nearly half a century in the U.S., Cambodian and Vietnamese Americans continue to struggle with social inequities, including access to culturally sensitive healthcare.

This panel was an extension of @agnesconstante's 3-part @NBCAsianAmerica series, “The Impact of Covid-19 on Filipino Americans,” supported by @DanielleRoseFox & USC's @ReportingHealth Center for Health Journalism 2020 Data Fellowship. Check out stories below! 🧵
Filipino Americans account for 4 percent of the nurses in the U.S. but about 25 percent of Covid-19 deaths among nurses. Some are leaving the profession, prioritizing family and feeling a sense of resilience.
nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…
Filipino Americans reported higher Covid mental health toll than Asian Americans collectively. They have disproportionate number of nurses, health care workers and families living in multigenerational homes.

Moderator @agnesconstante asking @AGRobBonta about working on data disaggregration bill & how they got pushback. During the pandemic, that data helped them see disparate impacts on Filipino Americans, Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders etc. & helped them address these disparities. ImageImage
Pretty cool that @AGRobBonta, the first Filipino American state legislator + first Filipino American attorney general, is part of this panel "Why Filipino Americans Count: A Conversation on Disaggregrated Data." Image
The California Nurse Association's Zenei Triunfo-Cortez talking about how they broke out info on Filipino nurses to find they were disproportionately affected by COVID. If they hadn't done that themselves, no one would've known & it wouldn't have become a national conversation. Image
