Episode 6 The 1.5 Generation Asian American Experience

We often forget that even Asian millennials have different personal experiences from each other. This realization has led me to reflect upon how different narratives between generations can be. Hence, I thought it would be helpful and personally significant to many of our listeners to shed light on what it means to be part of the 1.5 generation. In this episode, we discuss the barriers that my guest speakers, Soojin Cho and Tam Nguyen, have faced transitioning into a world outside of their home ...

Episode 5: Asian Female Roles on Stage and TV: Where?

There is always not enough talk about #representation in the theater world and pop culture and the challenges that go along with it. Besides fighting stereotypes, we also struggle to find a wide variety of Asian female role models to look up to or characters to identify with on mainstream media.

Episode 4: A Conversation on Sex Education and Intimacy Issues

SEX. Did I get your attention? Great, because that is our topic of discussion of the week - more specifically: sex education.

Some questions we hope to have answers for are: how do we make the birds and the bees less of a taboo topic within our community? What are some resources and spaces that we can look into to better ed...

Episode 2: The Importance of Mental Health

I wanted to officially start the series by dedicating an episode on a very important topic that we often overlook in our daily lives: seeking mental health services. In the second episode, my friend, Jessica Hao, a medical student at Washington University at St. Louis, and I discuss the importance of seeking help when needed and what we can do to combat against the cultural stigma of mental health. Jessica Hao was born in Beijing, China and immigrated to Canada at age 6. After a whirlwind of adv...
