Erased from the Narrative

If you've been watching the news at all in the past week, you know what's happening in Afghanistan. If you haven't, it is heartbreaking. The United States made the decision to pull all our troops out and bring them home, leaving the Afghanistans, including our allies that have been helping the war effort, to fend … Continue reading Erased from the Narrative

Standing Against Asian American Hate Crimes

Last week, an unprecedented terrorist attack on the Capitol took place. It was an attack on our Constitutional structures, and it was an attack on our government by the people, of the people, and for the people.

Where I Stand

Over the past few weeks, a lot has gone down. Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin sparked protests after he was captured on video brutally killing an unarmed black man named George Floyd. Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes, despite Floyd pleading that he couldn't breathe. Even when Mr. Floyd fell unconscious … Continue reading Where I Stand
