Even before the Corona Virus there were incidents of violence against Asian people and now with the Corona Virus they have increased. Host, Marlena Willis, speaks with anti-Asian violence activist, Sasanna Yee, as well as a couple of her co collaborators in her work, Josephine Zhao and Seeyaw Mo.
Sasanna Yee is the co-founder of Communities As One, Asians Belong and Masks For All SF. She authored “Grace of Pain” in the yoga anthology Practice: Wisdom From the Downward Dog. She combines her ten plus years of social justice experience with her indigenous knowledge of healing pain and trauma to create multi-modal community healing protests. She asks, “What can pain teach us and how can we channel it for positive change?”
