SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Some people may feel helpless as we watch violent crime after violent crime targeting the Asian American community but a San Francisco jewelry designer is trying to help.
Bay Area-based Peggy Li is a designer whose work appears on popular TV shows like Riverdale, All American, and The Bachelorette.
Li has created two new pieces - a fortune cookie and an ox necklace in which 100% of the proceeds will go toward Asian American causes. ABC7's Kristen Sze spoke with Peggy about the necklaces on Getting Answers.
