This season, the goal is to go back to personal interviews talking with Micronesian community members. Some of the most valuable feedback that the podcast has received is that many children of the diaspora, adoptees, adoptive parents, and allies have utilized the podcast to learn about and feel connected to Micronesian heritage. Most of that was done through simply asking community members about the culture and their relationship to it. The space will be honored again by going back to this format for the new season. 

On today's episode, I speak with the vivacious, Stephanie Takamaru. Stephanie is a Marshallese advocate who works in Northwest Arkansas educating, advocating, and providing resources with and to the Marshallese community.
