Anyone that follows me on socials know exactly how I feel about the #StopAsianHate topic. I’m sure you’ve seen and most definitely heard, about the attacks on Asians (specifically elderly ones) in broad daylight. How these attacks have escalated greatly within the past year because of COVID and xenophobia within the country. We must speak up & use our own voice against this unnecessary and senseless violence. We must stand for those who can’t.

That’s why I am so honored to be asked to be apart of the #SendSaucyNoods challenge from @KPOPFoods! The mission of KPOP Foods is to highlight the flavors of Korean food and spread joy and bring people together through it.
