00:00- I rarely post personal stuff but as a parent of 2 Asian sons with Asian significant others, this week has been especially hard. Too much hate, too much violence.This week began with the horrifying news that 8 people, including 6 Asian American women, had been murdered in Atlanta. We stand – and grieve – with our Asian American family, friends, colleagues, and communities. #StopAsianHate
