It’s no secret that navigating life as Asian American women in this nation comes with challenges. While some of these are different depending on our upbringing, many are rooted in insidiousness of white supremacy and patriarchy and cut across communities of color—i.e. the sting of hearing “well, you know you all look alike” when we are, in fact, two very different women.

Some would remark on how we really do resemble each other or justify their error by claiming that it’s a compliment to be mistaken for someone so high-ranking and successful. Others would say: “You speak English very well,” “you are assertive, not like most Asian women,” or “you have the same hint of an accent.”
