MILCK Instagram – I want to take a moment to acknowledge the power of POC unity, and how working together can lead to powerful shifts. For example- the Black activism of the 1960’s directly enabled a huge portion of Asian Americans to immigrate to the states. Asian American communities during the 60’s stood alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the fight forged on. Flash forward a few years- My parents’ ability to immigrate to the states is directly impacted by Black led activism. That’s a beautiful thing. This post is my small way of showing my POC siblings that I also believe we deserve more than fighting for crumbs. We deserve to build and design new worlds with our POC siblings and dominant culture allies. Color blindness is not going to save us from the history that we all come from. We’re better than this marathon of denial. It’s freeing to accept that we’re not perfect as a nation or as individuals. It’s freeing to accept that we all have blindspots. When we surrender to the truth and let things grow from that tender place, we can experience tremendous integration and growth. #asianamericansforaffirmativeaction
