How old were you when you learned that ovaries aren't directly attached to the fallopian tubes and that labia minora may appear to "disappear" during menopause? I was 35 and am AFAB. How are we not taught these things about our bodies?

Stoked that my copy of Ruth Lor Malloy’s 1997 book Hijras: Who We Are finally arrived! It’s about the realities of this Indian queer community from their own perspective. Thank you Ruth for sending me this! You were doing anti-oppressive journalism before it was even a thing!

It was so nice today to give a workshop on trauma-informed, decolonial and anti-oppresive journalism to @ricochet_en, @PivotQc and @IndigiNewsMedia. If you are a newsroom interested in such a workshop for your team, email me at diamondyao@outlook.com.

Today I had the opportunity to meet Jack Seto, editor of The Asianadian, an Asian Canadian magazine that ran in the 1980s - just like Sticky Rice Magazine now! It’s so nice to see that there were people before us who did this work, who can inspire us & who we can learn from.

I am so honoured to finally have been able to meet the legendary Ruth Lor Malloy (upper right of the picture, next to her daughter Linda Malloy). Now in her 90s & a respected elder, Ruth was one of the FIRST EVER Asian Canadian journalists to work in Western Canadian media!

For @joysauce_, I had the chance to discuss with The Oh Collective about empowering Asian women/femmes to own their sexuality & democratizing culturally-informed sexual & reproductive health education. Thank you for speaking to me about this! joysauce.com/the-oh-collect…

If any editors are listening, I am up for writing a piece where I interview Chinese diaspora about their thoughts on this, especially what the migration exposed about racism, politics and propaganda.
Diamond Yao 🌈@graceofyul

I wish all Chinese diaspora who are getting whiplash from seeing white people migrate to Xiaohongshu a very blessed day. Two worlds you never thought would cross paths unexpected did, and here you are, being some of the only folks out there who actually understand BOTH worlds.

Earlier this week, a client reached out to collaborate & I felt impostor syndrome. Then, I recalled a white man with 0 degrees/expertise in the topic who confidently pitched himself as a suitable candidate for an Indigenous affairs editor position - and told myself “I got this”.
