...See more Happy end of March YPOC! Our world is made up of different races, cultures, and languages, and as the individuals that are a part of this world, we each have something unique about us. Unfortunately in our current climate, these differences can lead to us not being accepted, whether it’s by others or even ourselves. Feel free to check out the resources below to learn about today’s difficulties and how we could approach them. Kimson's Open Letter: Such a time as this (Support for AAPI communities) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/YoungPeopleofColor_129/LetsTalkMentalHealth_1927/KimsonsOpenLetterSuchatimeasthisSupportforAAPIcommunities_242801/] Safe Spaces: Allyship and Support [https://www.7cups.com/forum/YoungPeopleofColor_129/YPOCForumDiscussionsandQA_703/SafeSpacesAllyshipandSupport_242969/] So YPOC, Let’s accept not only race but all the qualities that make each and every one of us a unique individual! Tips on accepting others’ differences -Recognize that each individual has differences, and that is more than okay. Ignoring differences can be more harmful than helpful. -Empathize: Do your best to identify how others might be feeling. We all come from different paths of life and therefore cannot completely understand exactly how someone else feels/what they go through, however it is still possible to empathize with them. -Educate yourself! Learn about other cultures, differences. It is okay to not know everything upfront, don’t be afraid to learn. Asking questions can be helpful as well as long as they are asked in a king, non-judgemental manner. Accepting your own differences -Think about some of the qualities you have! What are some qualities you like about yourself, or that other people seem to like in you? -Be gentle with yourself! We are all human and we have our own strengths and weaknesses, so you can’t expect yourself to be perfect. -Have there ever been times where other people have made it harder for you to accept yourself? If that’s the case, then remind yourself that the opinions of others don’t determine who you are, but you do! QUESTIONS: -Why do you feel it can be difficult to accept others? -Do you have any suggestions for people who may be struggling with Acceptance? -Finish the sentence: Acceptance is important to me because ____ Thank you for taking part in this event! Be sure to check out some other awesome March events here! [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityActivitiesEvents_1908/MarchEvents2021Masterpost_242860/] We hope that each and every one of you are able to accept your wonderful selves, whether it is now, or in the future.

Black History Through the Decades! The 1960's
Young People of Color / by HannahChu777
Last post
 March 28th, 2021
...See more Heyo everyone! Welcome to the second day of our Black History Through The Decades Event! We are so excited to have you join us. We will be continuing this event by talking about important events in U.S. Black History during the 1960s! Let’s begin with… February 1, 1960 Woolworth’s Lunch Counter: Despite the progress in the 1950s, African Americans still experienced racism in their daily lives. After politely asking for service and having their request refused, these four African American college students didn't leave the lunch counter at Woolworth’s until they were served. This led to hundreds of hundreds of students, civil rights organizations, churches, and members of the community joining in a six-month-long protest which ultimately led to the desegregation of the Woolworth lunch counter on July 25, 1960. Did you know that this inspired activist Stokely Carmichael to create the phrase “Black power”? May 4, 1961 Freedom Riders: 13 “Freedom Riders” seven Black and six white activists went on a bus tour throughout the Southern region of America to protest segregated bus terminals. Although they faced violence from both police officers and white protesters, even a mob throwing a bomb on the bus, the Freedom Rides also drew international attention. This is because photos of the bus engulfed in flames were widely circulated, and the group could not find a bus driver to take them further. But, the attention got Robert F. Kennedy, the U.S Attorney General, who found them a driver and police escorts to help Freedom Riders resume their journey. When another white mob attacked them as they reached Montgomery, Kennedy and even Martin Luther King Jr. sent federal marshals to protect them. There was even a time where the group was arrested for trespassing in a “whites-only” facility and sentenced to 30 days in jail. Attorneys for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People brought this situation to the U.S. Supreme Court, which reversed the convictions. Eventually, this led to the growth of hundreds of new Freedom Riders, more rides, and even the Interstate Commerce Commission issuing regulations prohibiting segregation in interstate transit terminals, under pressure from the Kennedy Administration. August 28, 1963 March on Washington: More than 200,000 people from our diverse range of races gathered in Washington, D. C. for this peaceful march to force civil rights legislation and establish job equality for everyone. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech was the highlight of this march and became a slogan for equality as he continually stated, “I have a dream…” King’s dream came true since President Lyndon B. Johnson to sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which guaranteed equal employment for all races and limited the use of voter literacy tests. March 7, 1965 Bloody Sunday: When 600 peaceful demonstrators participated in the Selma to Montgomery March to protest the killing of Black civil rights activist, Jimmie Lee Jackson, by a white police officer and to encourage legislation to enforce the 15th amendment (voting rights for all skin colors), it soon became bloody. They were soon blocked by Alabama state and local police sent by Alabama governor George C. Wallace. After continuing to move forward despite the obstacles, the protesters were beaten and tear-gassed by police which put many in the hospital. “Bloody Sunday” was televised, angering many activists, yet King still pushed for nonviolent protests and eventually gained federal protection for another march. February 21, 1965 Malcolm X’s assassination: The former Nation of Islam leader and Organization of Afro-American Unity founder was assassinated by a Black Muslim at an Organization of Afro-American Unity rally. He is remembered for promoting the value of freedom by showing the efforts that we will go through to earn our freedom. April 4, 1968 Martin Luther King Jr’s Assassination: Civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by James Earl Ray on his hotel room’s balcony. He is remembered for showing the power of peaceful methods to bring healing, even to the enemy. April 11, 1968 Fair Housing Act: Law that prevented housing discrimination based on race, sex, national origin, and religion was enacted a week after King’s assassination. The civil rights movement in the 1960s was an empowering yet damaging time for African Americans. Yet these efforts of civil rights activists and protesters of all races brought about legislation to end segregation, Black voter suppression, and discriminatory employment and housing practices.

Motivational Civil Rights Leaders
Young People of Color / by HannahChu777
Last post
 January 30th, 2021
...See more Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well. Last week, on January 18th, there was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, in honor of the African American leader who played a significant role in advancing civil rights. In honor of this day, our Young People of Color sub-community wanted to highlight some wonderful Civil Rights leaders who we find inspiring and motivating. Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and activist. She was born into slavery but managed to escape. After making it out alive, she acted as a “conductor” for the Underground Railroad, a network of trails and safe houses run by antislavery activists in order to help escaped slaves make it to freedom in the north. Referred to as “Moses”, Tubman made over 13 missions, single-handedly guiding over 70 escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad without losing a single one. Tubman’s incredible intelligence and courage allowed her to go undetected, and she is known as one of the best conductors of the Underground Railroad in American history. Cesar Chavez Cesar Chavez was a Mexican-American civil rights and farm labor rights leader. When his family moved to California, Chavez and his family worked in horrifying conditions for 10 years: racism, corrupt labor contractors, low wages, backbreaking work, etc. This inspired Chavez to grow from a farm laborer to being the cofounder of the National Farm Workers Association while implementing nonviolent methods such as his years-long national boycott of California table grape growers, resulting in more humane working conditions. He went beyond civil rights as he truly cared about each farmer, even bringing national awareness to the dangers of pesticides to workers’ health. Chavez’s dedication to improving labor conditions extended to his death, possibly caused by his hunger strikes. But ultimately, his efforts as a prominent union leader and labor organizer have been recognized as President Barack Obama announced that Chavez’s birthday, March 31 would be recognized as a federal commemorative holiday. His nonviolent activism and support of working people also awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, securing his place as one of the most inspirational labor leaders of the 20th century. Sylvia Rivera Sylvia Rivera was an American feminist and LGBTQ+ rights activist. She was orphaned at a young age and lived with her grandmother, who disapproved of her feminine behavior. Rivera was kicked out at a young age and was forced to live on the streets, working as a child prostitute before being taken in by a community of drag queens who gave her the name Sylvia. Rivera grew up to become a fierce activist for the LGBT+ community, advocating for gay liberation and the inclusion of trans people as well as advocating against homelessness, which disproportionately affects LGBT+ people. Rivera is well-known as an outspoken trans activist, and her work has helped support LGBT+ rights around the world. Mahatma Gandhi Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi was not only a lawyer, writer, and social activist, but a civil rights leader of the nationalist movement against British rule of India. When doing his job as a lawyer in South Africa, he was shocked at the mass racism and racial segregation towards Indians from the white British and Boer officials which led him to form the Natal Indian Congress. His beliefs of non-violence advanced towards "Satyagraha" or truth and firmness campaigns, his most notable being his 240 mile Salt March which arrested 60,000 people including himself. Yet, his perseverance and continuous nonviolent actions promoted political and social progress to ultimately gain independence for India. This rightfully earned him the title, "Mahatma" or great soul. Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary. When the South African government introduced a new system called “apartheid” that furthered the racial divide in the country, Mandela (who was also a lawyer) became an important figure in the African National Congress (ANC). Mandela organized nonviolent protests and pushed for Congress and protestors to follow Gandhi’s peaceful ways of bringing change. However, at one point he began to doubt that these non-violent methods would work and set up an armed branch of the ANC. He was later classified as a terrorist by the South African government and spent 27 years in prison. His story brought international visibility to the anti-apartheid movement, and he was released from prison in 1990. Three years after his release from prison, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Then in 1994, Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa’s first Black President. He is considered “the father of the nation,” "the founding father of democracy,” and "the national liberator, the savior, it's Washington and Lincoln rolled into one.” ~Now that we have shared about some Civil Rights leaders around the world, here are some questions to answer~ Out of all the leaders mentioned, is there one you found the most inspiring? Who? Are there any Civil Rights leaders not mentioned you would like to tell us about? (Please keep all responses respectful, and appropriate please) How do the actions of these leaders motivate you? Are there any methods these leaders used that you would like to integrate into your activities to be a leader/ally? Thank you so much for participating in our January 2021 event in accordance with the 7 cups site-wide theme of this month. “Motivation!” Feel free to check out other 7 cups January events HERE [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/Current7cupsSpecialEvents_1908/January2021EventsMasterpost_236879/]!

Celebratory Travels - Lunar New Year
Young People of Color / by HannahChu777

 December 24th, 2020
...See more Ladies and gentlemen on 7 Cups Airlines, we will be landing shortly. The Local time is 3:00 pm and the temperature is 10 degrees Celsius. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. During this time, I will give a brief introduction. Welcome, everybody! I am your host, Hannah and my job today is to pick up on this leg of our Celebratory Travels holiday tour! Today we'll be making a brief stop at the Lunar New Year celebration! Lunar New Year is an inclusive new year for all East Asian countries and is most commonly known as Chinese New Year. But, it actually represents the unique forms of Lunar New Year specific to each East Asian country such as Chinese: Chunjie, Vietnamese: Tet, Korean: Solnal, Tibetan: Losar. The name comes from the fact that it begins with the first new moon and ends on the first full moon or 15 days later and is also known as the Spring Festival. It’s still very wintry, but the holiday marks the end of the coldest days. People welcome spring and what it brings along: planting, new beginnings, and fresh starts. According to the Solar calendar, the moon's random activity means it happens on a different date each year. You can always count on it always falling sometime between January 21 and February 20. This year it will be on February 12, 2021! 🏮 Each culture has its own unique twist but some traditions that they share are burning fake paper money and printed gold bars in honor of their deceased loved ones. We believe the offerings will bring fortune and good luck to our ancestors in the afterlife. 🧧Children also get red packets or envelopes filled with money from their elders. The color red is associated with energy, happiness and good luck and a little fortune certainly can help with that. 🏮 Similar to how Western horoscopes have 12 zodiacs, one for each month, there are 12 Asian zodiacs as well, but the animal is for the entire year. 2021 is the Year of the Ox. What's yours? Your animal can decide your career, health, and relationship success. 🎆Finally, we end with a Lantern festival full of dances, parades, and of course, fireworks on the last night. Some examples of dances in the pictures below include Thailand's lion dance and Korea's folk Buchaechum or folk fan dance. Look how colorful and festive! Just like Spring! Now it's your turn! Tell me: 🧧Have you celebrated Lunar New Year before? If you have, what were some of the traditions you included (including any I didn't mention!) 🧧Looking at the chart above, what's your zodiac sign? 🧧 Are there any aspects of the Lunar New Year that are similar to celebrations you have been part of in the past? 🧧 This event could not have been possible without the amazing YPOC [https://www.7cups.com/home/poc/], GS [https://www.7cups.com/home/generalsupport/], and R&F [https://www.7cups.com/home/relationships/] teams! If you're not already, go visit these subcommunities (click on the names!) and join them to be notified about more events! Thank you for joining me for this celebration!

Clearing Misconceptions with the YPOC (10/18)
Young People of Color / by HannahChu777

 November 6th, 2020
...See more Happy Global Diversity Month YPOC! 7 Cups prides being a diverse community filled with unique individuals with equally fascinating cultures, but there tends to be misconceptions surrounding our cultures. So let’s become more open-minded towards celebrating what makes us stand out! We can find ways to bond over accepting others even if we’re different or relating to our connections. Goal: Have a discussion with others from another culture about their cultural values. Preparation: Think about a time when you have been misunderstood because of your appearance, gestures, or expectations that stem from your culture. Then, using that information, ask us a non-judgemental question to begin the conversation! I’ll start: I have often been misunderstood for being rude for not hugging others because based on my Vietnamese culture, I show politeness by placing the left hand on top of someone else’s hand while bowing my head. So my question is: In your culture, how do you show politeness? [https://hidanotaka.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/bowing-each-other.jpg] Now it’s your turn to join the conversation! After asking your own question, try answering others’ questions based on your own culture. Take some banana creme pies from me, Hannah Banana :P bye for now!
Let's Celebrate

She’s honestly really sweet, she’d be willing to help no matter how minor your issue is or no matter how long your paragraph is. I love how she sees things differently compared to how a typical person would and the way she relates to each situation makes you less anxious about the whole situation because you know you’re not alone. She’s funny too! Which is just adorable.
