What do you think was the biggest news event this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally? Talk about why it’s a big deal.

<strong> Yesterday, a shooting</strong> ... happened where<strong> 8 people died, the majority</strong> of which were<strong> Asian women. I feel numb, if I'm being honest</strong>. I feel numb<strong> to mass shootings,</strong> I feel numb<strong> to violence.</strong> I think I've also realized that self-suppression is so real.<strong> Even though I'm Asian American, I find myself thinking "try not to make noise,</strong> people don't think this is a big deal".<strong> That's the problem though</strong> - people don't think the Asian-American discrimination and violence is a big deal.<strong> I should be making noise, we should be being loud and asking why our issues have not been prioritized and why there is rarely any news coverage on it as well.</strong> <strong> I'm tired and sad and wanting safety for my community.</strong>
