“Following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, many were seen protesting across the United States to fight for justice. Over the years, I have grown to realize that there remains a certain extent of rejection surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement in the Asian American community. This is a reflection piece about the anti-Blackness that exists in Asian American communities and about how I helped educate my mother on the topic.”
-Samuel Dilawari. Excerpt from HCAP’s Asian American and CUNY Student Narratives Zine

“A large proportion of Hunter College students are students of color who are first in their family to go to college and/or come from immigrant communities. First generation immigrant college students generally have more responsibilities than other students and are in need of support that are unique to their experiences. Being a first generation immigrant college student myself, I felt the need to support these students in documenting and sharing their perspectives and experiences, which often are not heard in mainstream media. So for my narrative project, I compiled the stories of Hunter College students during the past few months, focusing on how their identities have shaped those experiences. I hope our narratives could be used to inform the Hunter College community in better understanding the unique experiences shared among first generation students during the past few months.” -Leora Zhang.

“I found my interest in baking and cooking during this pandemic. I like to do it when I’m stressed from classes. If you’d like, take this time to discover some interests that you have never thought of before.
No matter what your situation is, please know that you are in the middle of the pandemic. Making decisions during a time of uncertainty can be difficult, and it is totally okay to be unsure. You can be unsure about school, about family, and anything in life, because we are all unsure. If you feel stressed, reach out to someone that you trust in, and always remember that the Counseling and Wellness Services is available.

"In the beginning of quarantine, one of my family members tested positive for coronavirus. About three days later, I developed coronavirus symptoms and had to self-quarantine for about 2 weeks. At first, I was hesitant to email my professors about the situation since I had very little symptoms that affect my academic performance. However, I later developed worse symptoms and I had to face the fact that I need to prioritize my health rather than my academics. To
my luck, all of my professors were understanding and gave me flexible deadlines" -Sharlene Daba-ay. Excerpt from HCAP’s Asian American and CUNY Student Narratives Zine
