Against the Wave of Anti-Asian Violence and Hate

Hi everyone, Like many of you, I’m horrified by the rising and persistent attacks on Asians and Asian Americans in this country. It’s haunting to hear about this happening across the U.S., and I’ve been reading most everything I can get my hands on, trying to figure out what I can do. It’s easy—and not wrong—to say that familiarizing ourselves with the wide diversity of “Asian foods” is helpful, that education can go a long way toward broadening our collective understanding of the different communities and cultures that make up America, and that food is a good entry point into that. In the grid below I’m highlighting some recipes and essays that showcase the vast range of ingredients, techniques, and traditions associated with Lunar New Year, which this year was fraught with fear and anxiety as it lined up with the increased number of attacks on Asian Americans. While the holiday has passed, the stories and recipes are evergreen.

Marlei Martinez

Connect Four-time Emmy award-winning journalist Marlei Martinez joined WESH2 News in 2021. Prior to soaking in the Florida sunshine, Marlei was a reporter in Sacramento, CA and reporter/fill-in anchor in Birmingham, AL. She moved into local news after being a managing producer at CNN and producer at ABC News networks in New York City. Marlei’s reporting journey has brought her to the front lines of California’s deadliest and most destructive wildfire in state history, the Camp Fire in Paradise, and to the streets of Birmingham where gun violence runs rampant. On one sunny afternoon in Alabama, Marlei and her photographer found themselves caught in the crossfire while interviewing a mother on the 20th anniversary of her son’s cold case. They dodged gunfire at the very spot where her son was killed in a drive-by shooting exactly 20 years before to the day.
