It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

"content": "\u003cp>About \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/28/coronavirus-taking-outsized-toll-on-filipino-american-nurses/\">20% of registered nurses\u003c/a> in California are Filipino, and the COVID-19 crisis is having a disproportionate impact on them. At the same time, Filipino restaurants and food trucks are struggling to survive while sheltering in place. A new campaign called \u003ca href=\"https://www.kultivatelabs.com/frontlines\">Filipinos Feed the Frontlines\u003c/a> aims to connect those dots, giving a boost to Bay Area Filipino restaurants by paying them to make meals for health care workers and communities in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Desi Danganan helped launch the effort as the executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kultivatelabs.com/\">Kultivate Labs\u003c/a>, a nonprofit based in SOMA Pilipinas, San Francisco’s newly designated Filipino cultural district. California Report host Sasha Khokha talked with Danganan about the meal effort. Here are some interview highlights. These excerpts have been for edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeU4mm3oUPY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how the project got started\u003c/strong>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We sent out a survey to our network of entrepreneurs. The data we got was really startling: A lot of the Bay Area Filipino restaurants were seeing 90% drops in revenue. Some were reporting that they only had two months’ worth of cash to stay alive. It was really a big Hail Mary to see what we could do quickly to try to save these restaurants.

At the same time, Filipino restaurants and food trucks are struggling to survive while sheltering in place. A new campaign called \u003ca href=\"https://www.kultivatelabs.com/frontlines\">Filipinos Feed the Frontlines\u003c/a> aims to connect those dots, giving a boost to Bay Area Filipino restaurants by paying them to make meals for health care workers and communities in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Desi Danganan helped launch the effort as the executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kultivatelabs.com/\">Kultivate Labs\u003c/a>, a nonprofit based in SOMA Pilipinas, San Francisco’s newly designated Filipino cultural district.

She’s in a better position than a lot of artists struggling to figure out how to produce and share their music now that everyone is sheltering in place. She’s built her career on social media from her parents' house and has already amassed millions of followers. Her new EP dropped on April 22. Her uncle, video and radio journalist Clarence Ting, has witnessed her transformation into a social media star. He brings us this reflection.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Timing, as the old saying goes, is everything. For mxmtoon, who also goes by her first name Maia, that turned out to be especially true with the release of her latest hit single.

She posted these regularly to YouTube and SoundCloud. By that point, she was already exploring the creative possibilities of the internet. It was a secret life of which her parents had no idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Social media felt like this rebellious edge that I had for myself where it wasn't like partying or drinking or doing drugs or something, but instead I was just creating content for myself and for other people,” Maia said. “So I just did it all the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"mxmtoon\"]'No matter how difficult a time may be, the sun still rises and it sets in the evening and you'll still experience those motions every single day.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A self-described “emo” teen, she had been writing songs since middle school when her seventh grade music teacher first introduced her to the ukulele and the rudiments of songwriting. “I started writing music when I was 13 because of an assignment that my music teacher gave me and I kind of enjoyed it,” Maia said. “It was mostly just like throwing together words from rhyme zone that fit with each other and that was what I made.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Maia, writing songs was a way of giving voice to the anxiety that she’d felt since she was a young child. “I think songs always were helpful for me to write down what I was feeling because it's already a structured format,” she said. “There's a verse, there's a chorus, the chorus is the main thought that has been stuck in my head for ages.

She said she made it in about 20 minutes. The song now has \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/track/6GGdkwYk4NXuiIcQD16AZg?si=ux6tEqh0TnG-fD-iY4O3hQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more than 40 million plays on Spotify\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maia said her initial courage came from thinking no one was going to see the songs or videos. \"But I think eventually it turned into the mindset of, 'OK, if what I'm saying and what I'm singing about helps one person feel like their experience is being voiced, that's enough reason for me to post it in the first place,' \" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6rGDNrivv8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her senior year in high school, Maia continued to write and post songs, as well as various thoughts and drawings on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. She’d talk about an \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0NpCx7LscA&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">architect\u003c/a> she admired, or do a dance celebrating her \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYP3Bin3HiA&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">love of yogurt\u003c/a>. But it was her self-deprecating and confessional songs — and their growing number of listeners — that began to attract attention from the media. \u003ca href=\"https://hypebeast.com/2017/10/best-bedroom-pop-music-clairo-zack-villere-rex-orange-county\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HYPEBEAST\u003c/a>, an online magazine that chronicles the latest in fashion, art, music and sneakers, featured Maia as a rising star in the “bedroom pop” department. At this point, Maia broke the news to her parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"arts_13876893\" label=\"How to Help Creatives and Freelancers\" hero=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/MutualAid2_COVER-1020x573.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eventually it got to a point where I was like, 'OK, this is way too big and I can't hide it anymore from them.' And so when that article from HYPEBEAST came out that morning, I stepped into the kitchen. I was like, ‘Mom, dad, I have to tell you something,’ ” Maia said. “ 'I post music online and this really big editorial company found it and wanted to write about it.' \" She told them she wanted them to know about it, before they found out on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They got really quiet,\" Maia said. They asked her to show them the article, so she pulled it up. \"They read it and I was like, 'I got to go ... I'm just going to go hide in my room.' You can look at things, but I don't want to be in front of you while you're looking,\" she said. They did a deep dive into mxmtoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though at first reluctant, Maia’s parents agreed to let her take a gap year from college to devote herself full time to music. They converted the guest bedroom into a recording studio, and six months after graduating from high school she self-released her debut EP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last summer, Maia left her parents' house, booked a studio in Brooklyn and brought on another young singer-songwriter named \u003ca href=\"http://www.cave.town/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cavetown\u003c/a> to help record and produce her first full-length album, “The Masquerade.” The first single, “Prom Dress,” is a song based on a \"freakout\" moment Maia experienced trying on her prom dress after scarfing down a cheeseburger from In-N-Out Burger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeUeLzBO0go&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The song ended up being a popular track for TikTok videos and inspired its own memes on TikTok. Since downloading the app about a year and a half ago, Maia has amassed a following of over 1.6 million with a steady stream of goofy dances and signature TikTok-style videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other songs on the album, like “Seasonal Depression” and “Unspoken Words,” with their themes of loneliness and breakdowns in communication, are a lot of the reason why Maia’s songs often come up on Spotify mixes labeled #sadvibe. “I'm good at talking about ... the unsure aspects of human existence. You know, I'm 19. I'm just really existential and emo,\" Maia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7yXav31eVA&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Maia’s career has grown, her music has taken on more optimistic themes. “One song I wrote in one of the sessions I was in was called ‘Fever Dream,' ” Maia said. “I was just talking about my experience going into the music industry and how it can be really terrifying, but at the same time wanting to chase whatever that could be at the end of the day and going for it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maia’s latest single “Lessons,” about letting go of doubt and moving forward in life, for her EP “Dawn” has a central theme of renewal and rebirth. The release is another feat of impressive timing during this unsettling period of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No matter how difficult a time may be, the sun still rises and it sets in the evening and you'll still experience those motions every single day,” Maia said of the intention behind the song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hopes it will serve as a positive reminder that despite uncertainty, there are still constants in life.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And so songwriting felt very useful to declutter the way that everything was floating around in my head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11814536\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11814536\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42923_DSC05535-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42923_DSC05535-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42923_DSC05535-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42923_DSC05535-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42923_DSC05535-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mxmtoon's new EP was released on April 22, 2020. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Clarence Ting)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The first song she published was a jokey track she wrote as a junior in high school titled “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr-RULh-N58&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1-800-Dateme\u003c/a>.” The song garnered 200 likes the morning after she posted — not much by today’s metrics, but for 16-year-old Maia, it was a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a much more confessional song she wrote the summer before her senior year called “Feelings Are Fatal” that really resonated with listeners. “It was just like a little bit more emotionally vulnerable and talking about my anxiety amongst the relationships that I might have or my depression or relationship to my life,\" Maia said. She said she made it in about 20 minutes. The song now has \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/track/6GGdkwYk4NXuiIcQD16AZg?si=ux6tEqh0TnG-fD-iY4O3hQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more than 40 million plays on Spotify\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maia said her initial courage came from thinking no one was going to see the songs or videos. \"But I think eventually it turned into the mindset of, 'OK, if what I'm saying and what I'm singing about helps one person feel like their experience is being voiced, that's enough reason for me to post it in the first place,' \" she said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/K6rGDNrivv8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/K6rGDNrivv8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Throughout her senior year in high school, Maia continued to write and post songs, as well as various thoughts and drawings on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

And so when that article from HYPEBEAST came out that morning, I stepped into the kitchen. I was like, ‘Mom, dad, I have to tell you something,’ ” Maia said. “ 'I post music online and this really big editorial company found it and wanted to write about it.' \" She told them she wanted them to know about it, before they found out on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They got really quiet,\" Maia said. They asked her to show them the article, so she pulled it up. \"They read it and I was like, 'I got to go ... I'm just going to go hide in my room.' You can look at things, but I don't want to be in front of you while you're looking,\" she said. They did a deep dive into mxmtoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though at first reluctant, Maia’s parents agreed to let her take a gap year from college to devote herself full time to music. They converted the guest bedroom into a recording studio, and six months after graduating from high school she self-released her debut EP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last summer, Maia left her parents' house, booked a studio in Brooklyn and brought on another young singer-songwriter named \u003ca href=\"http://www.cave.town/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cavetown\u003c/a> to help record and produce her first full-length album, “The Masquerade.” The first single, “Prom Dress,” is a song based on a \"freakout\" moment Maia experienced trying on her prom dress after scarfing down a cheeseburger from In-N-Out Burger.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/AeUeLzBO0go'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/AeUeLzBO0go'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The song ended up being a popular track for TikTok videos and inspired its own memes on TikTok. Since downloading the app about a year and a half ago, Maia has amassed a following of over 1.6 million with a steady stream of goofy dances and signature TikTok-style videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other songs on the album, like “Seasonal Depression” and “Unspoken Words,” with their themes of loneliness and breakdowns in communication, are a lot of the reason why Maia’s songs often come up on Spotify mixes labeled #sadvibe. “I'm good at talking about ... the unsure aspects of human existence. You know, I'm 19.

The release is another feat of impressive timing during this unsettling period of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No matter how difficult a time may be, the sun still rises and it sets in the evening and you'll still experience those motions every single day,” Maia said of the intention behind the song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The $484 billion relief package includes more than $300 billion to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, which was depleted in less than two weeks by small businesses seeking forgivable loans to retain or rehire workers during the pandemic. The federal aid will also provide $25 billion to ramp up nationwide testing for the coronavirus and $75 billion for beleaguered hospitals on the frontlines of fighting the pandemic. Democrats failed, however, to secure funding to help state governments facing massive shortfalls in tax revenues because of the pandemic.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.

On Thursday, they wrapped up testing the entire population of Bolinas, the small coastal town in western Marin county. Not only did they look to see who is actively infected, they also took blood samples to screen for antibodies to the coronavirus. Antibody testing helps scientists understand how widely an illness has spread through a community, even if some who’ve been infected don’t show any symptoms. This weekend, they’ll kick off the next phase of the study to sample more than 5,000 residents in San Francisco’s Mission district. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Bryan Greenhouse, associate professor of medicine, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Luis Obispo’s Push to Reopen Its Economy\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a bipartisan group of officials from San Luis Obispo County wrote to Gov. Gavin Newsom to ask for permission to pursue “a phased reopening” of the local economy over the next three weeks. The officials pointed to declining infections and hospitalizations from COVID-19 and a recovery rate of more than 80%, according to county officials. The county is expected to release by the end of the week a road map indicating, for example, which businesses could be allowed to open with social distancing and other safeguards in place. Meanwhile, governors across the nation are experiencing pressure to reopen shuttered businesses and relax stay-at-home directives, with crowds of people amassing at state capitols in recent days in defiance of state orders limiting public gatherings. The governors of Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee announced their decisions this week to gradually reopen their economies, including businesses such as gyms, nail salons and barbershops. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham, R-San Luis Obispo\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Draw Together” Art Class Helps Kids and Parents during Crisis\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many parents who are now unexpectedly homeschooling their children are finding it to be a challenge. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To help those parents and their kids, best-selling San Francisco-based illustrator Wendy MacNaughton launched “Draw Together with Wendy Mac” — a free, daily half-hour lesson streaming on Instragram on how to draw everything from race cars to penguins.

The $484 billion relief package includes more than $300 billion to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, which was depleted in less than two weeks by small businesses seeking forgivable loans to retain or rehire workers during the pandemic. The federal aid will also provide $25 billion to ramp up nationwide testing for the coronavirus and $75 billion for beleaguered hospitals on the frontlines of fighting the pandemic. Democrats failed, however, to secure funding to help state governments facing massive shortfalls in tax revenues because of the pandemic.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.

On Thursday, they wrapped up testing the entire population of Bolinas, the small coastal town in western Marin county. Not only did they look to see who is actively infected, they also took blood samples to screen for antibodies to the coronavirus. Antibody testing helps scientists understand how widely an illness has spread through a community, even if some who’ve been infected don’t show any symptoms. This weekend, they’ll kick off the next phase of the study to sample more than 5,000 residents in San Francisco’s Mission district. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Bryan Greenhouse, associate professor of medicine, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Luis Obispo’s Push to Reopen Its Economy\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a bipartisan group of officials from San Luis Obispo County wrote to Gov. Gavin Newsom to ask for permission to pursue “a phased reopening” of the local economy over the next three weeks. The officials pointed to declining infections and hospitalizations from COVID-19 and a recovery rate of more than 80%, according to county officials. The county is expected to release by the end of the week a road map indicating, for example, which businesses could be allowed to open with social distancing and other safeguards in place. Meanwhile, governors across the nation are experiencing pressure to reopen shuttered businesses and relax stay-at-home directives, with crowds of people amassing at state capitols in recent days in defiance of state orders limiting public gatherings. The governors of Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee announced their decisions this week to gradually reopen their economies, including businesses such as gyms, nail salons and barbershops. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The action is intended to help small businesses such as restaurants which have been hit especially hard by the pandemic. According to the California Restaurant Association, 20 to 30 percent of restaurants in the state are at risk of closing permanently due to the crisis. Restaurants like Cassava in San Francisco and elsewhere in the state are staying open by shifting to takeout or delivery service only. Many of them have applied for federal or city funds to survive the crisis. But now they face a new hurdle as insurance companies deny claims filed for lost income because the coronavirus did not result in a direct physical loss or damage to their commercial property, according to the insurers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yuka Ioroi, co-owner and general manager, Cassava\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Laurie Thomas, executive director, Golden Gate Restaurant Association\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Faith in the Age of Coronavirus\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As millions of Americans stay at home to avoid the spread of the coronavirus, houses of worship are no longer places that people can gather for support and affirmation.

Still, delivering sermons in a house of worship empty of parishioners can be a challenge for religious leaders accustomed to communion with their congregation.
