This week's episode is inspired by the May 2020 theme for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month: "Unite Our Nation by Empowering Equality"

We discuss equality in the workplace, stereotypes that persist about Asian employees as a result of both our cultural upbringings of not wanting to "rock the boat" as well as external misguided misperceptions, and what else has hindered us from rallying more strongly as a community to truly break the glass ceiling that many marginalized communities find themselves stuck under. 

CORRECTION: In this episode we refer to our challenge in professional advancement as the broader "glass ceiling" phenomenon, but there is a recognized term to refer specifically to the challenge in advancement for the Asian community - the "bamboo ceiling"
