I knew very little about Bushra and her Yemeni roots, and what inspired her to be the voice for her community at the Cross-Cultural Family Center (CCFC) in San Francisco, where she serves as a fierce yet compassionate teacher and community builder. But I knew that fate had brought us together for a reason. Our first meeting prior to this phone conversation had been a video chat with a group of other community leaders from the Tenderloin Community Benefit District (TLCBD), and Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC). Our collective dream? To transport residents of the Tenderloin district to a wonderland in nature where they could celebrate Eid ul-Fitr — a festival that marks the end of the fasting and prayer period of Ramadan — without the worry of being attacked or surrounded by violence and racial slurs.

To solve climate change, investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy deployment must triple, and fossil fuel subsidies must be phased out by 2025.

The good news is that the clean power transition is already underway worldwide. Innovative technologies harness the sun’s power rather than using oil and gas. New home-building and cooking methods also improve the efficiency of how energy is used, helping further drive down emissions.

For Dr. Tiara Moore the ocean offers an indescribable clarity. Despite pounds of pressure surrounding her body, she is safe in the gentle rocking and drifting. She describes a world beneath the surface, filled with ancestors’ whispers, “Take your freedom from the deep. You are safe & you belong here.” To Dr. Moore, this comforting presence originates from countless souls who escaped the tragedy of Middle Passage—the pathway used on the Triangular Slave Trade—by freeing themselves in deep dark waters. Their last act was full of self-determination. The spirits in the waters call her and other Black people back to a symbiotic relationship with water, which for so long was a site of terror.

The term Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) flattens a group of people who hail from a whole hemisphere of our planet—a hemisphere with myriad histories, languages, foods, cultures, religions, and more—into a single four-letter acronym. It’s a monochrome wash over communities who each have unique connections to land, water, wildlife, and being American. I began speaking with colleagues with diverse identities in the AAPI constellations—women, queer folks, younger and older folks—to investigate whether I could find a through line in our collective experiences. And I discovered that, though our stories were different, they also rhymed. This piece is not so much a representative cross section of AAPI stories, but rather a set of rhymes woven together to evoke the tapestry that is our identities and environmental connections.
