There has been a lot of darkness surrounding us lately. From the the seemingly everlasting pandemic, the murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Daunte Wright, and countless black bodies throughout our history, to the uprise of violence and vitriol against our AAPI community, many of us feel hopeless in this darkness. However, as activist Valerie Kaur once asked, "What if this is not the darkness of the tomb but the darkness of the womb?" We try our best in these times to shine a light but it's hard to do it alone. Today, I'm honored to premiere "TOGETHER", a project that came together very quickly but carried so much meaning to me. For months, I've felt helpless in many ways but now, I’ve found my way to channel my energy to help carry the stories of our past and try to uplift our communities for the future. Thank you to the countless people who generously gave their time and light to this project like @oliviamunn, @kenjeong, @simuliu, @akemilook, @lisalingstagram, @khalifboyd, @alwaysbewright, @winstoncduke, @deeeeezzyyy, @iambang, @a.y.truong, @zentronix, @oneouncegold, @jiminh_taeminh, @ms.stephanie.cho, @seanmiura, @porterduong, @belikesound, @natecuboi, @gohnakamura, @phhd123, @christina_gdfht, @kennethhuunguyen, @sodalite_color, @tam_again, @thekathyshow, @steadijun, @briflys, and @ceemao.
