My partner is Asian American, and while I know I will never fully understand her experiences, I want to do my part in hearing and learning more about her struggles and her perspectives. Being able to understand her has helped me understand myself. If I can take part in making sure others can have that same experience, then I know that I will be doing my part in uplifting not only her story but AAPI stories too. I think this is an important step for Kansas City, and I think it will strengthen our community.
This AP class isnt just a great way to make classes more diverse, but they also give students who are Asian a greater chance to learn more about their own histories, which honestly is more difficult than you would think to do on your own. This is a really great way to help the greater population and increase awareness, especially considering our current political climate!
To simply have the OPTION to take this class and have it available is so powerful and empowering to our community that is too often overlooked in the classroom.
As an Asian American myself, I empathize with those who have has to experience hate crimes. It is scary walking through this world knowing you may be a target of hate simply because of your race.
When I saw Mr. Quindara's case, I couldn't help but to put myself in his family's shoes. The hurdles of waiting for justice to happen, now going on two years since the hate crime. The agonizing pain of racism's impact on anyone is wrong and should not have to be experi3nd anyone
