Alice Yu: We don t have a centralized community. It s more based on ethnic lines, and I think a lot of that ties to the perpetual foreigner myth.

Like, I still have cousins and family in Taiwan, and I feel very close to them.
How Black women are leading the fight for Breonna Taylor 05:54
Over generations in America, the movement for civil rights and racial progress has been carried and organized by legions of dedicated Black women.
After the killing of Breonna Taylor by police in Louisville, Kentucky, in March 2020, it was largely the work of Black women that brought the case nationwide attention, as they took to the streets imploring as many people as possible to say her name.
Nupol Kiazolu, 20, is one of these women, a self-described member of the Trayvon Martin Generation.
As a sixth grader, she led a silent protest at her middle school. Armed with a bag of Skittles and a bottle of iced tea which Trayvon was carrying when he was killed nearly nine years ago and wearing a hoodie with the message Do I Look Suspicious? written on the back, Kiazolu said she understood at an early age the mere act of existing while Black could be deadly.
