WOD: 5/9 - 5/14: Moms and AAPI Heritage Month

Happy Mother’s Day:

We hope all of the amazing and fit moms in this group had the best Mother’s Day celebration this weekend. We are so lucky to be surrounded by a group of moms who are living proof that our bodies are capable of handling so much. The lyrics from Beyonce’s song, “Run the World (Girls)” sums it up very well:

“How we smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bear the children (children)
Then get back to business”

Happy AAPI Heritage Month:

May is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, which is a celebration to honor the contributions and rich cultural history of people of Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander origins. We are incredibly fortunate to all of our AAPI members who really help to shape our community and bring richness through culture and traditions. We want to particularly bring everyone’s attention to and condemning the violence and hatred that has been directed at the Asian and Pacific Islander community. As of January 2022, hate crimes against AAPI community members in San Francisco was up 567%, with more that have gone unreported. This is a concerning statistic for our AAPI members and us. It is important to us that our AAPI members feel safe at our gym and in our community. If there is ever a concern, please let anyone on the Board know how we can step-up and be supportive.

In honor of this special month, we put together a number of resources (certainly not exhaustive) that might be helpful to our broader community to learn about AAPI Heritage month through art, performance, and storytelling:
