Program Updates

93.3% AAPI seniors vaccinated in MN!!!!!!

Asian Media Access likes to thank all our Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) families - not only AAPIs have the highest vaccination rate, our seniors have reached 93.3% vaccination rate. Can't reach this high mark without all our AAPI families' supporting our elderlies!!!!!
Below data charts are from Minnesota Department of Health vaccination report:

Youth Mentorship Program, hosted jointly with Target's Asian Business Council

Research shows the positive impact from having a mentor in a young person’s life, yet 1 in 3 young people are growing up without a mentor today. That translates to 9 million youth at-risk for falling off track growing up without an answer to the question: “In real life, who can I turn to?”

A group of industry experts from Direct Operations, Merchandising, HR, and Information Technology team from Target's Asian Business Council joined Asian Media Access to provide a 16-weeks eMentoring to support Asian Media Youth, with a focus on:

A. Career Coaching. A coach is a guide, a helper, a supporter, an encourager and a partner. Coaching is about being an ally helping your mentees explore new ideas, realize their dreams, plan goals, and make decisions.

Part of Mentor’s role might include some career exploration. Mentors will encourage and support mentees as they:

a. Explore their interests and find their passions built on positive career-related experiences in their life and mentors'

b. Explore career and educational possibilities

c. Set challenging but achievable goals

(Click to see full size image)

B. Academic Learning. Assisting the mentees for their academic courses

Each week, mentors build natural relationships with mentees through simple interactions. We all want the mentees to move forward with something to hold onto, be it a lesson, moral, goal setting or something more tangible.

Below are many takeaways from our mentees with much pleasant memories:

"Over the past four months joining the mentorship program offered by Asian Media Access, it opened my eyes to the Information Technology sector in a way that has shaped my perspectives not only on the IT coding world, but how IT works in the "real" world in general."

"Brennan welcomed me with enthusiasm and tons of useful resources. We created a goal setting at the very beginning, and set monthly goals and actions to achieve the goals. Every time after our meet up, I felt myself improve day by day. I see the impacts this program had on me."

"Participating in the mentorship program like mine, there is no doubt I had many takeaways. Here are a few pointers based on my experience for future mentees:

Take advantage of the resources. Talk to different mentors, ask questions, and build the network connection with mentors from different organizations
Be accountable. Take notes during the meeting, prepare the questions you want to ask beforehand, and reach out to the mentors if you need clarification
Be responsible. Take the initiative of the meetings with the mentors, and be responsive to communications with the mentors."

May 22nd - a Successful Community Safety Training

Last Saturday May 22nd at the Roseville’s Central Park, Asian Media Access, Coalition of Asian American Leaders, along with Asian Minnesotan Alliance for Justice (AMAJ) board members, hosted the Community Safety Training with more than 30 Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) to learn more Safety Patrol techniques to better stop Anti-Asian Hate.

This training was facilitated by Kalaya'an Mendoza (Kala from here on), Director of the US Programs for Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP). NP is a global civilian protection agency - to protect civilians in violent conflicts through unarmed strategies, build peace side by side with local communities. Kala has been activating Community Safety Teams in neighborhoods and at demonstrations at flashpoints, most recently during the Derek Chauvin trial and the protests in Brooklyn Park after the Daunte Wright killing.

On May 22nd, Kala’s training was grounded in “Unarmed Civilian Protection” framework with a focus on building skillsets around: Situational Awareness, Upstander Intervention, Unarmed Civilian Protection and Tactical Communications. These skillsets can be used during community/event gatherings, as well as for personal safeties or to help out someone in distress.

BEFORE the event, Kala reminded us to pay attention to our own trigger points, boundaries and anchor points:

⚓️ Make time to center yourself the night before and morning of a protective action and identify an anchor point—a place of emotional safety.
⏹ Before arriving, take a few moments to consider boundaries and potential triggers, and remember your anchor point.
👥 Make time to discuss your boundaries with your team when you meet up before the action.
🗯 Remember to check in with your team throughout the day and make time for appropriate aftercare.

This process is going to look different for everyone, but making it a habit is crucial to stay safe in high-stress situations and avoid burnout.

DURING the event, Kala emphasized the OODA Loop to act on people’s best observations and judgement!

🔎 Observe: draw from your own observations and information you have collected from trusted sources
⏱ Orient: Filter and analyze your information
❓ Decide: With your insights, identify the best available response
🎬 Act: act on your decision, evaluate if action was correct

Kala gave many examples of deescalation through distraction. People don’t need anything fancy, just enough of a distraction to create a moment of pause and ease the conflict, such as:

💁 Compliment or Money Talk– “You look great!” or “Look! $100 bill on the floor.”
🎙🕺 Dancing or Singing
🔎 Pretending you lost something, asking people to find it
⌚️ Asking for the time
Asking for directions
❓ Asking “Do I Know You?”

While some deescalate, others can be acting as witnesses to record the situations or finding teams of people to be together. The aim with deescalation is not to win over someone with whom you disagree, but it is to deescalate to a point where everyone can be safe instead of further escalating volatile situations.

Kala also shared the CLARA Method while responding to questions and verbal attacks, with these five steps:

1️ - Center
2️ - Listen 👂
3️ - Affirm 🔗
4️ - Respond 🗣
5️ - Add ➕

He reminded us that most of us tend to start with Step Four, especially if the question or comment is hostile or threatening, but all 5 steps are needed to come up with a better solution.

AFTER the event, Kala reaffirmed us the importance of self-care – “Caring for yourself to care for others,” especially many AAPIs may feel culturally guilty to take care of oneself first and not others. Again, Kala reminded us only a mentally, physically, and spiritually balanced self can support self and others.

After the whole day of general training, Kala invited few AAPI leaders for “Train-the-Trainers” session, and each team had a chance to practice the OODA Loop with diverse interactive activities - Observe; Orient; Decide; and Act – OODA Loop can become an instinct among all the trainers with practices.

During these civil unrests and high alerts of Anti-Asian Hate incidences, everyone of us has to learn how to protect each other, and to avoid escalation and violent actions. We all need to practice these deescalation techniques so they become natural reactions, and we are ready to support the “Unarmed Civilian Protection” vision.

If you have questions or need more information, please check out Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP)’s website - https://www.nonviolentpeaceforce.org/, or report hate crime incidences at MN with toll-free helpline 1-833-454-0148.

Youth Session: Bicultural Healthy Living

Since January 2021, Asian Media Access has hosted a weekly Friday session for youth ages 14-24. The focus for session 12 was on Bicultural Healthy Living - the ability to relate to oneself with two or more cultures. Each youth felt this awareness that they related to more than one culture, and the value of this session was actually putting their feelings and emotions into words. In addition, these Friday sessions provided the space for youth to exchange ideas with those who have similar understanding and lived experiences. It is important for youth to acknowledge their biculturalism, especially with a group that they connect with.

There are multiple levels of Biculturalism, and the healthiest level is being able to retain a balance between both heritage and host culture. Those who can reach the healthiest level have more resilience, especially in stressful situations—one of the reasons is that Bicultural individuals benefit from taking resources available from both cultures. Youth shared examples of using home remedies passed down from family members. Their grandparents and parents often have remedies that the doctors do not share in western medicine, but are effective in their household.

Another possible benefit of being bicultural is being bilingual. Most of the youth primarily spoke another language at home with their family while speaking English at school or work. The youth agreed that they wanted to know more about their native language. One youth said, “I get embarrassed when I talk to elders because I don’t know the right etiquette...I wish that my parents taught me more about our native language.” Even if English is a second language in the youth’s household, the youth view this as an advantage to understand more than one language. Some youth shared that their parents wanted them to focus on the American culture and lifestyle, but that mentality left them feeling like they cannot speak, read, and write in their native language with justice. Giving up on one culture and confirming completely into a dominant culture impacts a bicultural individual’s wellbeing. The goal is to be proud and embrace the fact that they have this dual culture advantage. In the future, the youth want to incorporate more bicultural healthy living practices, especially when they have their own family.

Overall, youth enjoyed being able to learn more about healthy practices, share their bicultural experiences, and express to a group that also feels the advantage of being bicultural. They hope to continue to share their lived experiences and expand other’s understanding.

This three-part workshop will teach practices and strategies for connecting day-to-day organizing with long-term transformative change. Based on the Soil Strategy, we’ll go beyond thinking about campaigns and short term wins - the seeds of organizing - to explore how we can detoxify and nourish the cultural and political soil those seeds are planted in for deeper long term change.

Over the course of three sessions, participants will:
• dive into using the Soil Strategy as a lens for understanding our work,
• dig into the function of organizers as visionary gardeners tending to our organizing plots and the collective soil, and
• develop methods for applying the Soil Strategy and our new tools and relationships to day-to-day organizing.

Building Community Capacity One Cup of Coffee at a Time

DATE/TIME: Tuesday, June 29, 2021, 10:00am-12:00pm
PLACE: Register Here

As part of More Resilient Minnesota initiative, some communities have used the 100 Cups of Coffee process to elevate the voices of community members who are not always “at the table”. The process involves one-on-one conversations with community members to learn about their perceptions of, and experiences with, both community assets and challenges. This is a way to gathering community input to drive community resilience planning. 100 Cups of Coffee supports partnerships with a range of community members, as well as creating opportunities for leadership development. Beltrami and Robbinsdale are two communities that have successfully utilized this process. This is a valuable and practical tool for building community capacity in the journey towards community well-being. Join us for an overview of the More Resilient Minnesota initiative, an MN Department of Human Services funded initiative and to learn how you can implement or adapt this tool in your community.
