Headlines and posts around anti-asian racism has calmed down in 2022 but anti-asian hate is still very much alive. The grassroots organization Project 1907 conducted a survey earlier this year and found 943 reports of racist incidents in 2021, a 47% increase over the previous year with a 42% increase in asians reporting being coughed at or spat on. There are countless incidents that have and continue to go unreported and today's guest Vera Cheng joins the show to talk about the ongoing issue, how to cope, and how those within the asian community can continue spreading awareness to keep the conversation alive. Vera is the founder of Talk Therapy with Vera and she works with Asian millennials who struggle with anxiety, depression, and self esteem.
