Mei (AYR Michigan chapter leader) and I (Mimi Tuden, Oakland) were honored to be invited to speak on the fireside chat/panel discussion at Gainsight’s weekly meeting for AAPI heritage month! We spoke online to around 200 employees from around the world. We spoke on our personal experiences with being an AAPI youth as well as the work AYR has been doing recently. I specifically talked about my experience of being an Asian adoptee and how being from another country influences my approach on things. While Mei talked about her experiences growing up as a AAPI women in Michigan and the struggles that comes with living in a predominantly white area. It was amazing being able to share our stories and give advice on how to start speaking up and advocating and making the workplace a more inclusive place.

Did you know that AANHPI youth are the least likely racial group to seek out mental health help?

It is without question that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the mental health of AA and NHPIs. According to federal statistics, in 2019, approximately 10% of AA and NHPIs reported mental health issues. That number rose sharply to 40% during the pandemic. Yet, Asian Americans are 60% less likely and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are three times less likely to receive mental health services than their white peers.

This #FreeThePill Day we’re making it clear: Over-the-counter birth control pills are critical for advancing health equity and reproductive justice across the country.

Birth control pills have been around for 6️⃣0️⃣+ years. But barriers to access still exist–barriers rooted in systemic racism and other forms of discrimination + oppression. No more 🙅🏽barriers–everyone should have access to the care they need. #FreeThePill

Free the Pill Day is celebrated annually on May 9 to recognize the anniversary of the day the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first birth control pill in 1960. This year, it also marks the start of the FDA’s two-day advisory committee meeting to review the first-ever application for an over-the-counter (OTC) birth control pill! On our 5th annual Free the Pill Day celebration, we’re truly closer than ever to birth control pills being available without a prescription as FDA advisors consider a progestin-only birth control pill (POP) for over-the-counter status.
