  • S2 Episode 5: Combating Anti-Asian Racism
    CW: racial violence, gender violence. As Asian American women, our intention with this podcast is to share our perspectives on various topics that are often considered sensitive or taboo. With the rise in hate crimes against the Asian community we found it important to have a candid conversation about the violence directed towards our community. We discuss how anti-Asian sentiment is connected to the white supremacy ingrained in our society, the ways in which intersectionality is connected to the recent hate crimes, what meaningful solidarity can look like, and more.
