4 of the 8 people killed yesterday by the shooter in Georgia were ethnically Korean women, ages ranging from 50-70 years old. Their nationalities are unconfirmed. At least 2 of the 4 *worked and lived* at the spas. These were poor Asian women without protectors.

I wrote a letter to Asian women living in America. To, not for—obviously there's no way to write for all of us—but I've felt pulled toward spaces with Asian women this week, & at least for now we were the only people I could bring myself to write to vanityfair.com/style/2021/03/…
