sorry this was a super unorganized video, my thoughts were a mess. i wanted to use my platform, even if it is small, to spread awareness about this. also this was an extremely difficult video to make, my vulnerability might make you uncomfortable but these things had to be said. i will not be silent.
please check the links down below to educate yourself and help. also if you're going to use hashtags, please use #stopasianhate or #protectasianlives and not #asianlivesmatter (i don't know why youtube put that tag) because that takes attention away from black lives matter. please donate if you can, any amount helps.
