"There's this one linear misconception about what it means to be an immigrant and I think that's something that we need to debunk and unpack. We need to own our stories to build empathy, encourage action, and inspire policy change that will benefit us all."

Anti-Asian attacks continue to rise and we are once again called to lean on our resilience. But there's a thorny story behind our resilience — a cycle of unrecognized struggle and neglect — that leaves us with no other option but to endure.
"The problem is not resilience but a world that constantly requires our resilience — the world that has come to learn that resilience is permission for our continued oppression."

Today on International Trans Visibility Day, we look back at Geena Rocero's immigrant story. Geena was 17 years old when her family moved to San Francisco. As a young trans person dealing with a drastic change in culture, she decided to hide her truth to fit in as a model.
Let's encourage our transgender friends to show up and to take up space in our society!

Our immigrant parents and grandparents sacrificed a lot for a shot at a better life. How do we keep our communities safe from anti-Asian racism and violence?
""They may think that they may not have done much in raising us, but I know better. They gave up their homeland, their independence, and their position in their community so we could have a safe place to grow up in.""

In some ways, SOSUPERSAM worked harder and longer to get her mom’s support for her “unconventional” career choice than she did to succeed as a world-renowned DJ.

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR WAY TOO LONG.
Anti-Asian racism is not new. We have been the butt of jokes, the model minority rewarded for good behavior, the forever foreigner asked “but, really, where are you from?” We have been excluded and arrested and placed in internment camps. Our women are exoticized. We have been overlooked and deprioritized time and again, be it about mainstream media representation or basic rights like healthcare.
We have been invisibilized all these years. Relegated to caricatures and after-thoughts. And, lately, fatal victims of systemic racism.
IT HAS TO STOP.
We, at NextDayBetter, feel the urgency to act. We have made it our mission to make sure all our voices are heard, seen, and valued. Our first plan of action is to bravely speak truth to power by filling story voids of our communities, from Hmongs to Cambodians, Koreans to Malaysians, Filipinos to Indians — how many of our stories have seen the light of day?
It is clear that we must work harder to expose disparities, ignite tough conversations, build empathy, and empower collective action for Asian immigrants and new citizens everywhere.
We stand up taller. We speak up louder. We take up space. We misbehave and make noise. We make change happen.
End Asian invisibility. #StopAsianHate

Lara Kiswani challenged her second grade teacher when she was told that Palestine didn’t exist. It was her first fight for visibility.

Filipino nurses are critical in our ongoing fight against COVID-19. Dina Villaluz was already 76 years old when the pandemic hit but that did not stop her from answering the call to serve.

Dina Villaluz: Surviving COVID to Serve Another Day
“It could have been me, you know? When I learned that my partner had died from COVID-19, I felt so bad. He was a good man and a good nurse.
We had worked together at the hospital when the cases started piling up. I had doubts about coming in; I was 76 years old. I might be the first one to get hit. What was I doing there?
But I had been healthy all my life and was feeling strong. Besides, I never really stopped being a nurse. Even after my official retirement, I was still coming in to work at the VA or at Mount Sinai.
But this pandemic hit us so quickly that we were not able to prepare ourselves. My partner and I were responsible for ensuring critical safety measures at admissions by providing bed and staffing needs. I also took care of preparing the carts and supplies the medical teams needed at that point: the PPEs, the gloves, and all that’s necessary for protection.
And then I got sick. My daughter took me to the hospital where I was placed into the ICU and eventually had to be intubated and placed on a ventilator. Because of the medication I was given, I barely remember anything. I was ventilated for 8 days and spent two weeks in the ICU. After being discharged, I went to rehab for three weeks.
My partner passed away during the time I was sick. He was one of the many nurses who came to work despite knowing the battle they’ll be facing. It takes commitment, dedication, and courage to be a nurse. This is what we do. This is what we’ve been doing for decades, pandemic or not.
I turned 77 while in rehabilitation. I am alive. Maybe I’m still here because my mission on earth is not yet over. I can still serve.”

We honor Corky's memory. In 2016, NextDayBetter and AARP captured the story of legendary Asian American, Corky Lee on photographic justice. READ below:
“Back in junior high school, I found a small photograph showing the commemorative image that was taken at the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad.
"My social studies textbook never said how many Chinese there were, so I was wondering was it a half-dozen? Or was it many more? So what I did was I bought a magnifying glass and looked at the photograph to count how many Chinese there were in the photograph. Because if they built it, then they should be there. Right? I didn’t see any. So it planted a seed in my mind: Where’s the photographic proof? Why were they excluded? I later learned that there were actually twelve to fifteen thousand Chinese who worked on the railroad.
"That seed eventually led me to organize a 'flash mob' on the 145th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad’s completion in Utah. I was hoping for about 145 people – one person for every year that the Chinese were not included. I ended up getting over 200 people in Promontory Point, and together we reclaimed an aspect of Chinese American history.
"I call that an 'act of photographic justice' – using the power and influence of a photographic image to right the wrongs that have been committed.
"My project next year is to organize another flash mob for the 35th anniversary of Vincent Chin’s murder (he was killed by two out-of-work white autoworkers in Detroit who thought he was Japanese). It’ll be in front of Ronald Ebens’ house in Nevada. I want to let his neighbors know that, even though the guy’s not a convicted criminal, he still has a $8 million monetary debt for a life that he was responsible for.
"I attempt to educate and illuminate individuals, one image at a time, and to keep that history alive for the next generation, and generations thereafter.”
