When Women Preach

In this episode, we feature guest Katharine Hsiao as she shares what she learned from her mentor, Mary Li Hsu, former Assistant Dean of Yale College and Director of Yale's Asian American Cultural Center, who lived out a life of embodied the values of Sacrifice, Justice, Love, and  Joy as an advocate for Asian American Christians.  We are grateful for her support of ISAAC's mission, and we will continue her legacy through  PastoraLab and Podcast.    You can find more about Mary Li Hsu's sacrificial and impactful life story at www.isaacweb.org.  

 In this episode, we feature guest Dr. Debbie Gin as she shares her history with being a part of Asian American Women on Leadership (AAWOL) with Young almost 20 years ago and how the key needs and themes are still needed today for the AAPI Women: increasing visibility, understanding one's own agency and leadership from Multivocal Spaces, and giving back to organizations like ISAAC who seek to advance AAPI faith leaders.  Please consider donating to ISAAC for GiveInMay at isaacweb.org/donate.
