Ballet: A Late Start
Ballet: A Late Start

Oftentimes in the ballet world, individuals are “born into dance”. They pick it up at a young age and continue to enhance their abilities by carrying it with them as they grow. I have always had a love for ballet. Watching dancers elegantly prance across the stage has never failed to amaze me. I can still remember watching Angelina Ballerina as a kid and attempting to follow along....

Juneteenth: African American Independence
Juneteenth: African American Independence

I would like to begin with an excerpt from a famous speech given by Frederick Douglass on July 5, 1852.What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless......

NYC: Time for Change
NYC: Time for Change

Before I start I want to get a couple of things straight. One: you cannot pick and choose what you love about black culture. Two: just because you have black friends, that doesn’t mean you are not racist. Three: Do not just value black culture such as music, art, sports and fashion when it’s advantageous to you. It seems that almost overnight, New York City has turned from a relatively quiet ghost town to a lively, awe-inspiring, and liberating place. ...

In Support of Black Lives Matter
In Support of Black Lives Matter

I recently revisited this photo that I took in Washington on January 21st, 2017, the day after Trump’s inauguration and the day of the Women’s March on Washington. In it are the Mothers of the Movement, the mothers of Jordan Davis, Eric Garner, Mohamed Bah, Trayvon Martin, and Dontre Hamilton. I vividly remember watching them onstage, my own mother and I crying as we chanted the names of these women’s sons. ...

Being Asian-American During the COVID-19 Crisis: Tackling Xenophobia and Racism
Being Asian-American During the COVID-19 Crisis: Tackling Xenophobia and Racism

For the majority of my life, as a Chinese-American teen living in a city as diverse as New York, I have been fortunate enough to never feel the need to fear how my identity is perceived by others. As a proud daughter of Chinese immigrants, I learned to wear my Chinese heritage on my sleeve, eager to share the beauty of my culture, speak Chinese in public, and educate others about my experiences. ...
