n November 2020, we hosted a virtual event featuring Allison Hsu, Almah LaVon Rice, Nina Gonzalez Silas, and xime izquierdo ugas—all writers from the collection—and hosted by Dr. Jonathan Rosa, in a group discussion around the WORLDBUILDING theme.

The generative discussion centered ideas of reclaiming ideas of Asian Futurism, how rest is an act of resistance, how doulas and birthworkers are constructing the frameworks for communities, and how direct activism in government polices can shape a better tomorrow for Queer & Trans People of Color.
