A weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists.

Hosts, Miko Lee and Jalena Keane-Lee, the PowerLeeGirls, a mother and daughter team talk about the using stories to combat racism. We hear from Priya Vulchi and Winona Guo, two young women whose latest book is Tell Me Who You Are on racial literacy. Then we hear from Japanese American elders Nancy Ukai & Paul Tomita who were interned headed out to protest the incarceration of immigrant kids. They have collected “50 Objects” left over from the concentration camps. One of those objects is Paul’s child identity card (pictured above.)
