One year ago as the frenzy of the Pandemic was rising to an all-time high, the U.S. saw a spike in violence against Asian Americans.  We were scared for what the future held, and how bad the problem could get.  One year later a horrible tragedy occurred in Atlanta killing 8 people, 7 we of Asian descent (and 6 of the victims were women) In this episode, we take a look at what led to the violent events in Atlanta, the history of violence against AAPI in this country, and how we can keep our AAPI loved ones safe.   Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is: Alana-  BLK MKT Vintage (@blkmktvintage)- Seriously fresh Black curiosities, heirlooms, and collections https://www.blkmktvintage.com/ Kaytie- ManiMe (@manime.co)- Custom fit, at home mani in minutes http://www.ManiMe.co Instagram Accounts To Check Out: @zenerations @diversifyournarrative @michellekimkim @afropuffchronicles Find us on Social Media: @blackandyellowpodcast Alana J.
