ASL video in collaboration with Noel King, an ASL poet.
I’m sorry (not sorry)
For being honest as honey
For saying I do not trust you
For being an Asian American woman.
I’m sorry (not sorry)
For standing up
For setting boundaries
For resisting
I’m sorry (not sorry)
For being a strong woman
For deciding to stay
For protecting myself
I’m sorry (not sorry)
For making you mad
For fighting back
For saying no
I’m sorry (not sorry)
For saying goodbye to people
Who dismiss everything I say
For not being your model minority.
