Dolly or Whitney? . Holidays were super quiet this year❤️ Honestly was feeling a little down on Christmas, I didn’t see my parents to keep them safe. . So fully wore an elf costume to brighten our family Zoom call, peep the evidence in my stories. Stay well my friends!

My momma does a mean French braid ☺️ Every single day before school, my mom used to sit on the edge of the bed while I sat on the floor and she’d do my hair, usually putting in some pretty bow or barrette or scrunchy. Her hands are deft, trained in surgery and in the emergency room, her fingers precise and efficient. . I grew up with a profoundly disabled brother and I saw the constant worry on her beautiful face. I remember desperately wanting to make things better. But no matter what, every day she’d make sure I was still looked after – homework done and extracurriculars taken care of – and that I still looked presentable. This was our time, and I looked forward to it every morning. . She still does the best French braids, and so I asked her if she’d help me again. And I sat on the floor and the feeling of her combing back the sections of my hair all these decades later felt familiar and special, and caused my heart to twist in my chest. . Everything I do, I do for them. I have the best parents, and the most wonderful mother I could have ever asked for; fiercely intelligent, a medical doctor in her own right who can wax poetic about the periodic table. . Her family escaped communism and she didn’t speak any English when she arrived as a little girl in North America. . Her strength and joy is the throughline of her life – her stunning intellect matched by sheer force of will – she is cultured and well-read, curious and delightful, optimistic and deeply loving. My best friend. If she were not my mother, it would be an honor just to know her. . On this Mother’s Day, and every day, I feel so grateful. A lifetime is not long enough to repay all that my mom has given me so freely. . Hope you reach out today and tell someone important how much they mean to you. Tell me, what’s a memory of your parents or family that warms your heart? This includes any family that you’ve chosen! What are you feeling grateful for today?

Thank you again for the outpouring of love on the last post. Appreciate you ❤️ . Do holidays feel different to you this year? For the first time since moving back home to the Bay Area I won’t be seeing my parents in person, we’ll be doing a Christmas Day zoom call instead. Want to keep them safe during this current surge but my heart is a little sad, want to hug them extra tight this year. . Wishing you health, happiness and warmth this holiday and always! Let me know how you’re celebrating and how you’re feeling below.

It’s ok to do less when you’re coping with more. My friend said this to me the other day and I wanted to pass this little bit of wisdom and grace to you too, like a warm hug. I see you and want to honor how challenging it is to stay at this sheer level or vigilance for this long. I want to acknowledge how strong and resilient you are. I read every one of your comments and so often they inspire me. Let me know below, how are you doing really? What’s one small way you can take care of yourself today?

Today, kindness looks like smiling at people, even if it’s from behind your mask. I think it means texting old friends to let them know they’re on your mind, that you are an ally and you are actively wishing them the best in life. It means going out of your way to say an awkward hello as you pass people who seem isolated or alone. It means treating everyone as if they’re already at capacity because we all are — and giving people a little extra grace. It means leaving a nice comment for someone on social media, even if you’ve never met them in person. Let me know what you think, looking forward to checking out your page and spreading some love below ❤️

My grandfather passed away from COVID. His virtual funeral was a few days ago. My family is grieving his loss. . Howard Jang was healthy and vital, the kind of man who never got sick. It took three days for the virus to ravage his lungs. His care home made the decision to open for visitors and within two weeks, 20 of the residents and workers tested positive. . A poet and a scholar, he fled the communist uprising in China as a young man, moving to North America to work in a shingle factory in order to send money back to his young family, including my mother who was just a little girl. Millions starved, and they certainly would have if it wasn’t for his labor. . Swipe to see one of my favorite pictures of him – caught in a sudden thunderstorm at my cousin’s wedding. As many of us screamed as we scurried for shelter, he placidly placed a napkin on his head and calmly waited out the rain. In his life, he was practiced at it – he knew the storm would always pass. . He experienced hardship and intense discrimination and yet never lost his joy or love of living. He was always ready with a hearty smile and a joke. He loved good food and drink. . There was a, perhaps at times, hidden depth to him. . Decades later, he finally returned to the village he fled as a young man. And wrote this: . As I look at the clouds passing by, I remember clouds of yesteryears And the clouds in my village as I left it... Hoping for glory and fame in my new destination And now I return, with nothing more than the shirt on my back. . I hope that sharing this can be another reminder of how important our actions are, especially in this phase of the pandemic. I know how fatigued all of us are, but in this one circumstance it likely was an asymptomatic well-meaning visitor who caused a devastating ripple effect for so many families. . Thanks for all that you continue to do, even though it’s hard and inconvenient, to keep others safe who you may never meet. Tonight, I’m raising a glass to this multi-faceted, talented, intelligent man who lived life free of the constraints of “shoulds.” I am so grateful to him.

In light of the anti-AAPI violence and hate, I had to come on here and say something. There are so many voices to amplify and I’m reposting some of the slates from @iamastrongaapiwoman. You can support @aajaofficial. I appreciate @celesteperez for nominating me to talk about my own experience (Follow her! Follow her! Follow her!) “This week, 6 AAPI women were shot and killed by a 21-year-old white man. He claims the attacks were not racially motivated, but instead were fueled by a ‘sex addiction.’ For AAPI women, misogyny and racism go hand in hand.” I am a woman of mixed ethnicity, my mother is Chinese and the most hardworking and intelligent woman I know; she grew up picking radishes in the snow to sell, only to study and become a brilliant medical doctor. She is strong and kind and stunning with a beautiful smile and even more beautiful heart. Like every AAPI woman I know, she has given her children everything. It is true and bears repeating, “for AAPI women, misogyny and racism go hand in hand.” I have been called exotic my entire life. Almost always by men, who truly seem to think it’s a compliment. The definition of exotic is: “very different, strange, or unusual. Introduced from another country; not native” often in reference to animals or plants. It is to be reduced to something less than human. The sexualization and objectification started early. When I was 11, I was groped in public. He said I was so exotic, he couldn’t help himself. When I was 14, my dad took me shopping for clothes and as I was in the changing room I overheard the store associates say in stage whispers that I was his “slutty Asian mistress.” I think of the white guy in college who didn’t even see me – just told me he had a “thing” for Asian girls (he still likes my photos here.) There’s more, darker and deeper hurts. (continued in comments).

I almost never take this off. I get a lot of questions about exactly what’s written on this bracelet. It’s pretty personal, but I don’t mind sharing ❤️ . It says TATTM & TTDM, which stands for, “There are things that matter and things that don’t matter.” . I’m a perfectionist by nature. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in details and minutiae – or to get overwhelmed by the “big” problems. I can also be really hard on myself. . This simple phrase helps keep me grounded - and helps me prioritize what’s truly important. . Not everything on your to-do list deserves equal weight. Not every project or email needs to be a Pulitzer Prize-contender. . If a problem is filling your screen, ask yourself: is it an issue that will matter to me in 5 years? Assign it the weight it deserves, execute and move on. . In these times especially, I’ve found there are things that matter and (a whole lot of) things that really, really don’t. . Post below: what quote inspires you? Looking forward to chatting below!
