I believe that Asian and Black solidarity is a crucial first step toward reducing racism in our society. As an educator, I feel it’s on us to start this work—it’s something we can actually achieve. In our classrooms, we have the power to bring students together, encouraging empathy and understanding across different communities. By fostering a sense of shared struggle and mutual respect, we can help students see each other as allies. This is how real change starts, with each of us taking small, practical steps that build a foundation of solidarity. It’s something I’m committed to, and I know that by working together, we can set an example that reaches far beyond our schools.

The jagged red represents ruptures to solidarity and the pain they cause. Yellow started as tears. When I looked at it, it reminded me of kintsugi repair. Grief heals.

Our ancestors could only dream of the world we're living in now. They fought hard and likely had much harder lives than we did. We live their legacies.

My friend group at school is composed of Black and Asian students. We attend a school where the majority of students are white, which polarizing when issues like racism arise. Our school’s disciplinary system is currently being questioned and criticized by a student association that I’m part of because of incidents of anti-Asian and anti-Black racism within the student body. These incidents is what causes us students of color to compile ourselves into a group because we are able to very closely understand each other’s struggles.
