What does Black and Asian solidarity look like during this time when “Black Lives Matter” and “Stop Asian Hate” are household terms? I talk with dancer, writer, and organizer Rohan Zhou-Lee about one vision of Black and Asian solidarity through community building in the Blasian March, a product of their purposeful organizing across different identity groups. We share our thoughts and experiences, and criticize various aspects of white mythology. In doing so we discuss language as an extension of colonization and tool of resistance, inspiration for creative thinking, ways to cultivate safety, and individualized solutions vs communal and structural solutions. Follow Rohan’s amazing work on their IG, twitter, and FB @diaryofafirebird and @blasianmarch.
