This week’s guest grew up as a Chinese-American adoptee in Minnesota, had KBBQ for the first time in college (!!!), and wouldn’t trade her wacky adoptive family for the world. Join us for a heartwarming and hilarious talk on adoption and good parenting!

Behind every great artist is an even greater A&R team ;-)

As a lifelong musician himself, Drew Phomvongsa has worked shoulder to shoulder with artists like Alexander Lewis and Manila Killa to help shape and develop their sound. In today’s episode, Drew shares what it’s like to be an insider in the music industry, how he got his foot in the door (hint: savvy networking, lots of courage, and parties!!), and his thoughts on Asian-American artists committing cultural appropriation.

Did you relate more to Antman than you did to Crazy Rich Asians? Ever feel like Joy Luck Club didn’t represent your Asian-American identity?
 
Today we bring on up-and-coming filmmaker Grace Kim to discuss the creative pressure to “represent” the community, her journey into film, and the intersectional struggles she faced along the way.

As finalist for the Horizon award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and a Viacom Viewfinder Program fellow, Grace is quite an exciting character to follow - keep an eye out for her upcoming projects Heart Tick Kaboom and Fissura!

Today we discuss the social impact of the fast-spreading virus. What’s worse, the fear-mongering on social media, the lack of adequate government response, or the rampant increase in xenophobic incidents?
