Our hope is that this collection of links gives each of us many ways to take a step forward-no matter where you’re at in this journey-and reach across cultures to hold up one another. -Margaret Lee, Director, UX Community & Culture Start by learning and listening Listen in on an honest conversation between two Asian American designers on how they've navigated their identities at work via So Where Are You From?Or this episode of Still Processing, where the hosts hand over their microphones to Asian American colleagues, friends and listeners to hear about their experiences with racismLearn the names of Asian women leaders that history books may have missed through the Instagram account this PSA by Titania Tran, Jamon Sin, and Mimi Munoz and get comfortable with the question: “What will you say, when you can’t say you didn’t know?”Find out why our current definition of leadership doesn’t match the rallying cry for diversity, equity, and inclusion, from Google UX Director Margaret LeeSeek out personal experiences on racism and discrimination as an Asian American, like this reflection by Google Director Eva Tsai Practice being a better ally Think critically about stereotypes in design, and how to break themSign up for bystander intervention training through Hollaback! & Asian Americans Advancing Justice or learn de-escalation and Upstander strategies from the Center for Anti-Violence Education to respond to anti-Asian harassmentMake your allyship cross-cultural by learning about Black/Asian solidarities, past and presentReport incidents of anti-Asian violence to Stand Up Against Hatred and Stop AAPI HateFamiliarize yourself with the NYC Stop Asian Hate toolkitSupport the next generation of emerging BIPOC designers via Office Hours, a global mentoring series for creatives who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of colorTake notes and implement tactics from Tatiana Mac’s talk: Building Socially-Inclusive Design Systems Celebrate AAPI+ creatives Pick up a copy of Banana magazine, the design-driven publication whose pages blur Eastern and Western boundaries to create a collective voice for contemporary Asian cultureDownload Source Han Serif, the open-source Pan-CJK typeface family from Adobe Type and Google Fonts that lets designers mix Chinese, Japanese, and Korean alphabets with ease (and style!)Hire talented individuals from the Asian & Pacific Islander Who Design directoryRead AAPI voices and add their books to your bookshelf or syllabi.
