S3 E1: Should I Speak Up?

Listen Later

The first episode of SEASON THREE!

You may have seen her on our platform already, especially on Instagram as she has created amazing comics for us- meet the newest member of our team, Adrienne!  We talk about how Adrienne comes to embrace her mixed-race identity, her interests, social issues, moving from different countries….and more. We also discuss the questions that come up that are hard to answer:

  • “Should I speak up or not?”
  • “Can I speak up if I’m mixed and half white in this space?”
  • “I’m Asian…does that mean I can speak on Black problems?”

    • …and the ultimate question:

    “Why are we (predominantly East Asian women) sensitive and afraid to speak out?”
