Education
digital content creation, teach-ins, webinars, and trainings
Our R.E.A.L. Institute education programming focuses on ending racial and gender-based violence in ANHPI communities. We do this work through community-centered and accessible programming, with both digital and in-person offerings. Our education programming includes digital content creation, teach-ins, webinars, and trainings, and we do this work with grassroot/local community partners to do trainings and workshops in person.
National and Regional Educational Programs with Community Partners
The History of Violence Trainings teach our analysis of the histories of violence against ANHPI communities and how those communities have created legacies of resistance.
These trainings teach communities how to perform intergenerational, community-driven, decolonial research on racial and gender-based violence.

Leo Sheng
Fireside Chat #ImReady2022
Born in Hunan, China, Leo grew up in Ypsilanti, MI. Adopted and raised by two moms, he understood the importance of access to community, and community building. Leo’s first film role as ‘Ethan’ in the feature film Adam, which premiered at the 2019 Sundance International Film Festival as well as OutFest and Stonewall 50, led to him stepping down from academics after his first year of graduate school. He was then cast in Showtime’s highly acclaimed hit series The L Word: Generation Q, playing the series regular role of ‘Micah Lee’. Leo’s continues to channel his advocacy in media, and aims to center the stories of queer & trans communities of color.
Solidarity in Action: Intro to defense & self-defense with Mollii Khangsengsing of Tuff Love Fitness
AAPI Women Lead partnered up with Mollii Khangsengsing for a 1.5 hour virtual self-defense program.
INTRO TO SAFETY & SELF-DEFENSE teaches awareness and preventative safety strategies. Students also learn effective physical techniques addressing the most common attack situations. These techniques rely on smart body positioning rather than strength, speed, or athleticism, anyone can learn the techniques!
Whatever your age, experience level, or athleticism, you can learn to safely diffuse or escape from dangerous situations. At the same time, you will develop confidence to assert yourself, set boundaries, and de-escalate potential conflicts.
