In 1992, a Korean-American woman shot and killed a 15 year old black girl named Latasha Harlins. She thought Latasha was planning to steal an orange juice from her grocery store. Witnesses reported that Latasha had $2 in her hand to pay for the juice.

In the days that followed, the Korean immigrant community suffered $500 million in looting during the Rodney King riots.

I have often thought about this moment in our history. I too am a Korean-American woman running a business. When your store is burning, is it not easy to remember how you got here. But as Asian Americans, we must take a look in the mirror.

Like the virus, racism is contagious. It is invisible, spreading unnoticed. We can be an "asymptotic" carrier, unaware that we can spreading this disease. Only when it is too late, do we realize the toll it has taken on lives. We must accept responsibility for the suffering we have caused and stand in solidarity with black leaders calling for change.

In 2020, an Asian American officer looked away while George Floyd was murdered. As the movement rose in protest, I did not want to look away. Donating masks felt like right action to take beyond simply supporting from the sidelines.

Because love is also contagious. And so is hope.

My hope is that this donation shows commitment. Brands and small businesses must do more than post on social media - even if we are also barely scraping by. Black leaders are showing the way. I am trying to do my part to keep black and allied communities safe.

We can't change how 2020 started. But we can write how it ends.
