Today, I’m honored to share the Vo family’s beautiful story. Both medical physicians in our community here in Southern California, Alex and Christina are two of the most selfless, kind, compassionate, and hardworking people I have ever met. Their strength and humility amidst difficult circumstances along their journey to starting their own family, both with full time jobs while serving the least privileged and forgotten is not only inspirational, but beautiful and worthy of recognition.

I’ve been posting a lot of information from Jenny Wang’s page @asiansformentalhealth.  Jenny has a wealth of knowledge about how and where to start healing from racial trauma and also spreads awareness about the often invisible AAPI experience.  She’s amazing, and I highly recommend following her!  I recommend watching her video discussing how Asian Americans […]

“One of the most tragic parts of being Asian American right now is that no one believed in the reality of our radicalized trauma until now. […] How do Asian Americans heal from a lifestime of hidden realities and unspoken trauma unrecognized by others?” Jenny Wang Clinical Psychologist@asiansformentalhealth I’m tired.  Last week was heavy, and […]

“As the Asian American community continues to encourage each other to SPEAK UP, take up SPACE, and become VISIBLE, we also need to remember that these actions take immense courage and are costly.  We need to be prepared to defend, protect, and support each other in these brave acts or we run the risk of […]

I have not been able to stop crying. My heart is shredded. I realize that what I am about to share isn’t filtered, and probably won’t even be mindfully articulated. I’m just sharing what I feel. These women were somebody’s daughters, and perhaps mothers and sisters. Now, dead, because of a white man’s “bad day.” […]

Are you listening now? Do you see us now? My first reaction was rage, then sadness, then the impulse to say something, and then, do you know my next impulse was?  To not say anything. “Be quiet, Tiffany.  Be agreeable.  Likable.  Don’t rock the boat.  No one else is reacting, so maybe you shouldn’t. Don’t react.  […]

Another loss in the family today. In the span of a mere 24 days, my husband Alex lost first his uncle, then his aunt, on his mother’s side, to COVID19. His two cousins, their children, now orphaned to misfortune, pain, overwhelming grief, and loss. I personally never had the privilege nor honor of meeting them, […]

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. One in 4 Women will lose a baby during pregnancy, delivery, or infancy. One in 160 pregnancies will end in stillbirth. Pregnancy and infant loss has long been stigmatized and shrouded in shame. Yet, thousands of mothers and parents suffer silently, feeling forsaken and alone in their […]

Important conversations are happening, and need to continue happening. Some, for the first time are waking up from a deep sleep to the reality of systematic racial division and oppression against the Black Community. I know that I have. I’ve taken a breath. I realize that I am lucky to still be breathing, because so […]
