It was a pleasure to speak to May as a fellow podcaster and AAPI activist. May has been very outspoken about the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes since the start of the pandemic and spotlighted many of the victims of these horrible events.

Recognized for her powerful voice for Asian Americans, May was named one of Forbes 50 Over 50 women leading the way in impact July 2021. May has been working with various organizations, companies, and media outlets to raise more awareness of AAPI history and experiences.
