When I hold Monaco—and she holds me back—I feel something shift. Something deeper than this moment, bigger than just the two of us. Our mothers, and our mothers’ mothers, carried so much. Strength, yes. But also silence. Pressure. Expectations. Pain they had to bury just to keep going. Love that sometimes came with conditions. Protection that sometimes looked like distance. I’ve seen firsthand how generational trauma weaves its way into families—how it shows up in the way we speak (or don’t), how we love, how we survive. But here, in this moment with my lil Coco, something new is happening. I’m not just raising her. She’s helping me re-raise parts of myself. She’s learning that softness is strength, that love can be safe, and that vulnerability is not weakness—it’s connection. We are breaking patterns without even saying the words. And we are building a bond that I pray will echo through every generation after us. It’s not perfect. But it’s powerful. It starts here.. and I am so grateful this is now my life 🥹🫂 🎵Cover by talented @madisoncalley
The goal was never to “get over” it. It was to move through it… slowly, honestly, in my own time. That’s where the freedom came from.
We go again tomorrow😆

The AAPI community has faced a long history of discrimination and marginalization, and are often reduced to harmful stereotypes. It takes immense strength to rise above these stereotypes, to reclaim our narratives, and to amplify our voices in spaces that may not always welcome our perspectives. Speaking up means navigating through layers of complexity, and shattering monolithic narratives that overlook the rich diversity and contributions within our community. But through adversity, I find power in the unity and resilience that binds us together. I’m grateful for the friends I’ve made through the years who tirelessly advocate for justice- just to name a few here. Together, we have built a supportive network that celebrates our diversity, embraces our shared struggles, and uplifts one another like no other.
