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.

PowerLeeGirl host- Miko Lee [1] talks climate change. The fires in Australia have been burning for months [2], consuming 18 million acres of land, causing thousands to evacuate and according to the world wildlife fund left potentially 1 billion animals dead. The world’s top scientists say that to combat climate change, 2020 must be the year for coordinated, comprehensive climate action. Joining us to discuss are Denny Khamphanthong from Asian Pacific Environmental Network [3], Jessian Choy, aka "Ms. Green” [4] from Sierra Magazine and Song Vi from East Wind Books. [5] We will also share “Rise” a poetry piece [6]from 350.org created by islanders Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner and Aka Niviâna.
