Teens Take on Topics: What Does it Mean to Be Asian American Today?

With the recent rise in violence against Asian-Americans, we discuss what being Asian-American means to us. We converse about the "Model Minority" stereotype, effects of COVID-19, our cultural connections. We invited multiple guest speakers to also share their experiences as Asians in the United States today. We are SO excited to share this episode with you today. 

Thank you to all of our friends and relatives who spoke with us today!
