  • Ep. 9 - Normalized Racism Towards the AAPI Community: that’s f*cked.
    Long time no talk everyone! In this episode, Joyce and Rie discuss the recent happenings in the AAPI community and their feelings and thoughts as Asian-Americans. The headlines, stories, pictures, and videos we read and see should not be taken lightheartedly. Racism and hate crimes against Asian-Americans are occurring almost everyday and have been for decades. Please take the time to listen to the AAPI community, educate yourself, but also have the courage to correct others.

  • Ep. 6 - A Conversation About the 2020 Election
    Welcome to the sequel of our previous "VOTE." episode. Fast-forward a month, all of the hard work, encouraging, supporting, and amplifying voices resulted in the appointment of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. At last, many people are finally approaching the feeling of ease, yet the fight against the pandemic, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, racial and systemic inequality are not over. JRitis encourages everyone to stay hopeful in and for the next four years and say no to parties (we have to flatten the curve for real this time! Before it’s too late…). If there’s anything you take away from this episode, let it be to constantly be hopeful and ready for change.

  • Ep. 5 - Discovering Your Passions and Path in Life feat. Sarah Keum
    Joyce and Rie are so excited to bring this episode of The JRitis Podcast to listeners! In this episode, the girls sit down and chat with Sarah Keum (24), who is currently pursuing a photography career. When she first entered university, Sarah was an intended science major; but she eventually realized that she wanted to switch to an art major! Sarah talks about the struggles of pursuing a "non-traditional" career path, especially by an Asian household's standards. She answers questions such as: should follow our heart or our head, how do I differentiate a hobby from a passion, and how do you deal with judgments from others about your life choices?  The girls believe this episode will be helpful to high-schoolers, college students, and those already in the workforce!
    Huge thank you to Sarah Keum for featuring in this episode and for willing to be vulnerable with JRitis listeners!

  • Ep. 3 - VOTE.

    2020 will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most historical years with the Coronavirus pandemic and the war between Trump and Biden in the 2020 election. Joyce and Rie, both 17-years-old, are one age below the minimum age requirement to vote in such a crucial year, but their passion for social justice and activism is not limited to an age requirement. Although the girls are not legally allowed to vote, they are both registered already to vote in the next election, and they wanted to dedicate a special episode to remind you to register and vote this year if you are able to! If you are younger than the required age, there is still so much you can do, such as educating and reminding older people in your life to vote. The girls also take the time to discuss their opinions on the race to the White House and one of the most embarrassing presidential elections in history. Not to mention as well, this episode was recorded a little over 24 hours after news of Trump being diagnosed with COVID-19. What an interesting time to be alive! But no matter what, the most important duty as an American citizen is to stay informed and participate whenever you can. Hopefully, this episode will inspire and motivate you to vote and to keep fighting the good fight.

  • Ep. 2 - Growing Up as Asian Americans

    In Episode 2 of Season Two of the JRitis Podcast, Joyce and Rie sit down to talk about their experiences growing up as Asian American. It’s difficult navigating life as a minority in America at a young age, and the girls discuss the complex meaning behind “Korean American”- not fully fitting in the US but not Korea either. The girls hope this episode will be relatable to other Korean Americans, Asian Americans, and other ethnic minorities. Stories of culture should be celebrated and shared!
