Forgotten or Erased?

Coming to the realization that I didn't just forget or lose the Asian part of me. Subconsciously minimizing, erasing, and shrinking ourselves to fit in, and how an entire generation of Asian of Americans are coming to terms with how we coped in a time of #AAPIHate

I feel a tremendous amount of guilt for making your first professional email and suggesting we dropping the Vietnamese portion. I am so sorry friend.

Aw don’t feel bad @erinduvall! I would have made the exact same choice for myself. You did precisely what I would have asked you to do. Honestly it made it easier so I didn’t have to say it. I know you see me for me, you help me get my pho fix and like it so much you want to make it for yourself too. No one is more supportive of me and this crazy journey, don’t feel bad about any of it :) The point is just to share so other people can know what’s happening without having to ask and have conversations they might not be comfortable prompting- not make people feel bad for minor stuff I didn’t take the time to process when it was happening. 😘
