Persist Together
By Alexis Santosa | My name is Alexis Santosa, and as a young generation, I believe it is our job to raise awareness and find solutions that can help us live in harmony with the rest of the world. I hope that with this poem I wrote from my experiences, the readers may truly understand what it’s like to experience Asian hate first-hand. May this poem bring everyone together, hand in hand, to keep any other hearts from being broken.
We Aren’t a Virus
By Hana Parker | With the increased wave of Asian hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic, I created this piece to represent how the misguided beliefs about the virus’ origin and subsequent instances of racial microaggressions negatively impacted mental health. I also call the viewer to recognize our responsibility to speak out against this injustice.

Dangerous Dance
By Mei Tachibana | Tragedies like the one at Star Ballroom Dance studio are not only tragic for the lives that are lost or effected, but because of the joy it can drain from a community. This shooting made a place where local, primarily Asian, elders would gather and have fun, into something traumatic and scary for many people. Never again.
