This is a special 2-episode conversation with Archana Patel, VP of Parent Programming at <a href='https://jeremiahprogram.org'>Jeremiah Program</a>. In Part 1, Archana shares her story, why she feels called to center the stories of women and mothers now more than ever, and how the current climate is increasing the appetite and desire for activism and civic engagement in South Asian communities.  We unpack the challenges of wanting to celebrate our parents, families, and cultures, while also wanting to evolve to better reflect our own priorities and values, and how we navigate the differences along the way. We share stories of hard or awkward conversations we've had with our parents, and what keeps more of us from doing so.

This Ones for Us with Archana Patel Part 1

miseducAsian is a podcast created by 3 Asian Americans hoping to add to the growing chorus of story-telling about the richness, complexity and boldness of the Asian American experience. The hosts, Albert, Brian and Tommy, are mid-life, mid-career educators who came of age in the 80’s and 90’s, who share their experiences of the joys and struggles of being Asian in America. They bring friends and colleagues into the conversation to share their stories in a space that is meant to be positive, fun and affirming. We hope to dismantle the prevailing stereotypes of Asian Americans as the docile “model minority” and to tear down the biases of the “perpetual foreigner” by painting the richness of our American experiences. And through all this, we hope to inspire other Asian Americans to share their stories within their own networks as well.
