We wanted to understand public policy initiatives for Hmong people and other Asian Americans, so we decided to bring in an expert!

Introducing ThaoMee Xiong: Executive Director for the Coalition of Asian-American Leaders (CAAL).

This woman has dedicated her life to creating change for Asian Americans and other minority groups. Her history of policy work runs the gamut of different organizations throughout the state, including the City of Saint Paul and the Minnesota Department of Health. Her talents have been seen on an international stage as well: working for the International Organization of Migration and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.

Long story short, she's a badass. We're so thrilled to bring you this episode with such a brilliant and strong Hmong woman.
