I know who I am

Written by Shavonne Wieder

I’m a mixed woman. I’ve been fortunate enough to grow up in a nice neighbor, in a nice suburban middle-class town, with nice parents, like the nice little mixed Jewish girl I am. I’ve been called an “Oreo” by little…

May is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month.

Former congressional staffer Jeanie Jew first approached Rep. Frank Horton about the idea of designating a month to recognize Asian Pacific Americans, following the United States' bicentennial celebration in 1976.

On May 14, 1991, a public law was passed unanimously by congress and then signed by Bush, proclaiming May 1991 and May 1992 as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Months. By 1992, May was officially designated as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

May is significant to the AAPI community for two reasons. On May 7, 1843, the first Japanese immigrant arrived in the United States. More than 20 years later, on May 10, 1869, the first transcontinental railroad was completed, a project more than 20,000 Chinese workers participated in.

We will be highlighting the businesses, artists and accomplishments of this community. Let’s all do our part to acknowledge their contribution to our joint history.

Today is Hairstylist Appreciation Day.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate all types of hair. There isn’t one that is superior to the other.

Appreciate your hair, and make sure whoever is doing it does the same.

This was the message from @mixedgirlmane over the weekend during an inspiring event at UCLA.

The thing that is holding us back is fear. Fear keeps us from achieving our true potential. But what gets us past that fear is simple:

Action.

The communities we have all built and continue to build came about because we began taking action. The results may not be what we originally intended. But are greater than what we could imagine.

So whatever it is you want to accomplish. Heed the advice of Sharmane Fury.

Just hit record.
