THIS SHOW WAS SO GOOD I LAUGHED I CRIED I TURNED INTO A HMONG GIRL FROM THE 90s!!!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 And memorializing 50 years of Southeast Asian Minnesotans—and in general my local Asian Am diasporic community is such an incredibly resilient and beautiful and hilarious community continually busting its (flat Asian!) ass to survive and build and make beauty. If you were at Kendrick and SZA downtown last night instead of FAWK, I got the better deal ;-) 💗

Local friends, if you're interested in receiving bodywork with me or Eiko @eikointegrativeot but do not have funds right now, consider applying to the People's Movement Fund. Please comment below with your (serious) interest, or message me for the link. Big gratitude to the People's Movement Center, where I began my practice.
Here's a little bit about the fund, "This fund is for people who can't afford the minimum sliding fee amount of the bodywork practitioner they are wanting to work with. We ask that all recipients give something towards their session, no matter how small. Each individual who applies is welcome to receive up to six sessions supported by this Fund. We also ask that, if your sessions are supported by the fund, you spread the word and invite others to give so that the fund keeps going.
This fund can be accessed by anyone in Minnesota, and is for receiving healing work that is body-based in some way. At least 85% of people receiving bodywork through this Fund must be Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color. This means if you are white, you may be put on a waiting list depending on what the percentages are at any given time."
