Fear of Being Asian in Covid-19

It’s a scary time to be Chinese American in America with COVID 19… but this isn’t Stephanie’s first experience with racism. She wanted to write a book 30 years ago about the hidden intersections of Asian American and African American communities in the US. Stephanie is open about growing up in a verbally violent home in Philly with a father who came from a war-torn country. She knew as a young girl she would align with people who felt marginalized, afraid but overcame. A social justice advocate, and beautiful essayist, she refers to herself as a courageous “chicken.” I think she is… an eagle.
