MINI-SEASON 2: SHIT PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT

Episode 5: You Are Valid

Asians. We see you. We recognize you. All of you. You are valid. East Asians are not the only Asians that should be represented, despite what white media wants to tell you. Asians come in all forms and we are here to amplify you, your existence and your experiences. Whether you’re Southeast Asian, South Asian, Central Asian, mixed Asian, adopted Asian, Polynesian, Pacific Islander or anything in between, we want you to feel seen. You are magic and we want to give you voice and platform to share your magic with everyone else. Featuring finale guest Soleil Groh.

MINI-SEASON 2: SHIT PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT

Episode 4: 170 Years of Asian-Americans

If we don’t pay attention to history, we are certainly doomed to repeat it. This episode is heavy and uncomfortable. You’ll be faced with shit you didn’t think you’d talk about or learn about. Time to change that. Confront the truth in this episode. We are getting into the impact of institutional racism, societal racism and much more. There’s so much that we learned putting this episode together and we hope you take the time to learn, too. Enough is enough and we can’t keep doing this again to minorities and underserved groups. Let’s stop the cycle by breaking it ourselves.

MINI-SEASON 2: SHIT PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT

Episode 1: Bringing Honor To Your Family

Growing up, our parents never encouraged the discussion of mental health. They likely didn’t understand mental health for themselves either. It wasn’t until we were adults that we learned from friends and society what anxiety was and what depression could look like. No more. We are here to talk about mental health now and what the impact of the ancient traditions of shame and honor in Asian cultures can be on Asian children and adolescents growing up. The earlier we address it, the easier it will hopefully be for kids trying to understand why they’re feeling the way they’re feeling. There’s lots to unpack here, so let’s get into it.

MINI SEASON 1: WE ARE ASIAN WOMEN

Episode 5 - Asian Women Mean Biz

It's a time of growth and evolution for women in business, but it's also the time to address diversity and representation in business. Living in America as a woman of color comes with challenges, but working in America as a woman and especially as a woman of color comes with a whole different slew of struggles. We celebrate the women of color that have paved the way for WoC in business. We know they dealt with micro-aggressions, rampant sexism and definitely outright racism. We still deal with it today. Changing the narrative and the expectations of WoC in the business world is an important step towards real representation and more WoC properly in leadership positions. Featuring special guest Joyce Chen, Co-Founder of The Seventh Wave, the art and literary nonprofit focused on conversations, both on and offline, about the most pressing social issues of our times.

Episode 3 - White People, It’s Not About You

White people, it's time we addressed our frustrations with you. This episode is for you to listen and REALLY listen, not to defend. Take something away from what we're telling you instead of jumping to justify why you're "not all white people." Understand that it's time for you to be uncomfortable and confront the harsh realities of the damage white people have done on minorities. We hope you're open to learning.

Episode 2 - Cultural Appropriation

Don't steal our culture. Don't take it for your aesthetic pleasure just to throw it away and look down on us. We're not here for that and we won't let you get away with it. Want to learn the difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation? This is the episode for you. May you take something away from our rantings and ravings.
