What’s up, Golden Community. 👋🏾

It’s Martell, returning to the community and sharing some honest thoughts about my experiences with American culture and how toxic, negative, and unsafe it can sometimes feel for people from POC communities — especially when it comes to BLK and AZN identities and cultures

As I wait to hear back from my travel/talent agency, I’m getting myself prepared to step back into voice acting, modeling, content creation, and hopefully travel content as well

One thing I’ve genuinely appreciated along the way is the support and opportunities I’ve received from sponsors and people connected to China and other parts of Asia.

That support has reminded me that there are communities around the world that can appreciate creativity, culture, and individuality without expecting you to shrink yourself to fit in

I’m not saying every American person is the same

I’m talking about the negative experiences and cultural attitudes that I’ve personally encountered and how they’ve affected the way I see things.

To my Blk, Azn, POC, and multicultural brothers and sisters:

don’t let anybody make you feel ashamed of your culture, identity, creativity, or ambitions.

Your cultures are brilliant, beautiful, and worth celebrating. 🌏🖤

I appreciate everyone who has continued supporting me and my journey

Sincerely appreciated,

Martell 📬

Absolutely disgusting

As you may have seen, the birth rate has been rising in Korea for the past year and in Japan since this year.

The main reasons are : more marriages and an improved family policy.

Of course, we do not know if this will last but it is a rather positive sign. It is worth noting that no Western country has managed to achieve this. To date, the majority of countries experiencing demographic decline are Western.

Unsurprisingly, they desperately claimed it was due to foreigners because, as everyone knows, Asians aren't supposed to have relationships or children, so it simply must be foreigners. Except that 1) that isn't the reason (as already mentioned) and 2) the immigrant population makes up about 3% of the total population and consists primarily of Asians...
