Our show was removed from streaming. It is a clear choice when stories that can, and do, change lives are created only to vanish as if they never existed. It tells us that our voices only matter as long as those in power say they do.

This happened last night. One of the hardest secrets I’ve ever had to keep. 2 years ago, my prev. manager, Jenevieve, sent me to my first audition after wrapping season one of Gen Q, for something called Project Ice Cream. It didn’t take too long to realize what it was for.

This is such a gross take on anti-Asian racism & reeks of anti-Blackness. Totally lacks any historical understanding of relationship btwn AsAm & Black communities, how much Black communities have fought for us, and how anti-Blackness remains rampant in Asian spaces.

Actually, by using Black folks & their historical disenfranchisement as a point of comparison, and using personal experiences as a means of generalizing everyone, you’re proving just how anti-Blackness is so deeply ingrained in Asian American communities.
