We've started a blog on our website at maumliberation.com. Maum's Founding Director, Terry K Park, Ph.D., just posted his second entry. It's about the below photo of his Mom in the very first house he ever lived in (just for a few months after he was born), in Irvine, Orange County, California.

"Your presentation was undoubtedly enlightening and thought-provoking on so many levels – I learned so much about the long arc of U.S. and Asian American history. The work you do is imperative, and I hope that both Asian people and people in the U.S. will see the legacy of U.S. imperialism and militarism for what it was and continues to be."

Hamkae Center (formerly known as NAKASEC Virginia) organizes Asian Americans to achieve social, economic, and racial justice in Virginia.

As Hamkae's Project Design + Curriculum Development Consultant, it's been an honor for us to co-create a mission-aligned, discussion-based, and arts-enhanced curriculum to raise awareness of the impacts of racism on Asian Americans in Virginia. This is part of a larger effort to launch a violence prevention project to mitigate racially-motivated discrimination, harassment, and violence towards Asian Americans. Hamkae’s Special Projects Coordinator Jade Lee helped design and develop the curriculum and will deliver all eight monthly workshops, virtually and in-person.

The inaugural workshop will invite participants to dive into the complexities of their Virginia-based Asian American identities and share stories from their diverse, lived experiences. It’s also part of a series of events hosted by Hamkae for .

Please spread the word to anyone in Virginia interested in taking the workshops. And look out for seven more workshops in the coming months!
