My heart is with all of the athletes around the world who just received confirmation that the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games will be postponed. This period of uncertainty has been an unprecedented challenge, but I’m glad everyone’s health and safety is being prioritized.

I’ve always loved dancing. I can’t wait until I feel like I’m able to move better again. My body still feels tight post-surgery, but every day is a step forward. #InternationalDanceDay

This is a story about when @AlexShibutani and I met Joe Biden. In a small window of time, @POTUS showed us some of the qualities that I believe will make him a great President of the United States.

Heartbreaking. There is an undeniably horrific surge in violence against the Asian American community happening in our country. This can't be ignored and we must all stand together. Allies, we need you. #StopAsianHate

10 years since...
Our first World Championships.
Our first World medal.
The first North American sweep of the podium.
@AlexShibutani and I were the first team of Asian descent to medal at the World Championships and the youngest medalists in ~50 years.
