Learning to Live with “Grace and Empathy”


Listen Later

In this week's episode of Fostering Change, Rob Scheer talks with Marpheen Chan,  Author of “Moon in Full: A Modern Coming of Age Story”. Mapheen is an advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.  As a gay, first-generation Asian American born in California to a Cambodian refugee family and later adopted by an evangelical, white working-class family in Maine, Marpheen uses a mix of humor and storytelling to help people view topics such as racism, xenophobia, and homophobia through an intersectional lens.


Story Key Notes:


🖐️ Why write a book and what was the process like?

🖐️ What would you like our audience to walk away with from your book? 

🖐️ What is some of your advice to foster and adoptive parents?
