Beyond Allyship Ep 5: pt 2/2, a Loving Letter to Asian American "Wokeness"
Listen to Episode 2 for the first installment of our conversation with Darian and Lily on reimagining our relationship with the United States.
We’re back with Darian Spearman and Lily Luo, doctoral candidates at the University of Connecticut, to continue the conversation from our second episode. With a little more political theory and history, this half of the conversation looks more closely at the intersection of labor and social justice, while investigating ways different cultural communities build solidarity.
We dive into complicated relationships with mythologized ancestry, as well as questions like: How can we build bridges through social justice conversations with our diaspora families? What does it mean to have one foot in a U.S. American identity and the other based in another homeland or motherland? How can we conceptualize “family” and “solidarity” in ways that bridge different communities?

ABOUT THIS SPECIAL SERIES:
Green Card Voices is based in the Twin Cities, and, after the police murder of George Floyd, we are pivoting our platform to elevate Black voices and direct our listeners toward resources and actions they can take today to benefit the movement for Black liberation. Throughout this series, we highlight the work of local organizers while addressing how different immigrant and cultural communities can better align with the movement to take actions beyond a performative allyship and better act in solidarity with our Black communities.
