    What do you post, like, and share on social media? What does that activity say about you?
    How does that compare to who you are professionally??

    More than just a digital presence, your personal narrative influences how others perceive and advocate for your abilities and impact. Developing a strong personal narrative isn't just advantageous—it's essential for driving success in today's fast-paced and competitive professional landscape. At the same time, avoid complications stemming from your social media.

    Our Facilitator:

    DAY OF HEALING

    As a community we are still in pain. Day after day we hear about atrocities inflicted upon our fellow Asians Americans facing verbal assaults, physical attacks, and threats to their lives. Our most vulnerable people are being targeted: elders in precarious living situations, workers in low-wage jobs and women. And those are only the incidents that have been reported. How many more of our Asian American community suffered alone in silence?

     

    Honor the victims of anti-Asian violence and push back against racism, sexism, and anti-Asian violence.

     

    DAY OF ACTION

    Show your support through today’s Virtual Day of Action: pledge to support the Asian American community to #StandWithAsians and #StopAsianHate. Last week’s killings in Georgia were a wake-up call for so many to the reality that Asian Americans have been facing for the past year. White supremacy ends lives and we must all fight to end it. On this Virtual Day of Action, uplift the Asian American community by sharing your commitment to #StopAsianHate. Folks are being targeted for the language they speak, their accent, where they work, their culture — let’s end the violence together. So what can you do?

    • Take the first step by signing up for a Bystander Intervention Training today: https://www.ihollaback.org/event/bystander-intervention-stop-anti-asian-american-harassment-xenophobia/ 
       
    • There are many ways we can #StopAsianHate together. Do your part to uplift the Asian American community: talk about the intersections of racism, sexism, and exploitation of immigrant workers. Support mutual aid networks, donate to https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate. Together we will thrive!
       
    • To #StopAsianHate requires efforts both big and small. Doing your part means offering financial support and other help, holding yourself and your community accountable for demeaning language and racist “jokes.” Help monitor incidents of racism by going to StandAgainstHatred.org.    
       
    • On this day, pledge to #StopAsianHate. Anti-Asian violence shows up as racist slurs and “jokes,” physical violence, tearing apart immigrant families, and exploiting workers. If you see incidents of racism or bias, do your part to be an ally and offer support: stopaapihate.org
       
    • For any Asian or Asian American that has experienced racism, they may find themselves lost and without support to #StopAsianHate. Connect your community with resources like OCA National’s Anti-AAPI Hate Incident Reporting form: https://www.ocanational.org/aapi-hate-incident-form/ 
       
    • Asian Americans have faced a double pandemic of COVID-19 and anti-Asian racism. Whether it’s in public transit, on the street, or even at their workplace, many Asian Americans have experienced violence this year. Be an ally and get involved at bit.ly/AALeadersResources #StopAsianHate

    In honor of the 90th birthday of Secretary Norman Y. Mineta, during his birthday month of November the documentary about life and achievements is available for free viewing on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/424965737

    Secretary Norman Y. Mineta is well known for his work in transportation – including aviation, surface transportation, and infrastructure – and national security. He is recognized for his accomplishments in economic development, science and technology policy, foreign and domestic trade, budgetary issues and civil rights, as well as his perspective from having served in Congress for over 20 years and in the Cabinets of both Republican and Democratic presidents.

    For almost 30 years, Secretary Mineta represented San Jose, California – the heart of Silicon Valley – first on the City Council, then as Mayor, and then from 1975-1995 as a Member of Congress. Throughout that time, Secretary Mineta was an advocate of the burgeoning technology industry. He worked to encourage new industries and spur job growth, and he supported infrastructure development to accommodate the industry and its tremendous growth.
