Episode description
Considering over 70% of toys are manufactured in China, we would be remiss to not acknowledge and discuss the increase in Asian hate crimes that are making headlines in the US and Canada. According to NYPD data reported in the Queens Chronicle in September, anti-Asian hate crimes have increased 1900% from 2019 to 2020.
For today’s episode, The Toy Coach engages in a hard and honest conversation with Jacqueline Vong a 20-year toy expert and founder of Playology where she works as a consultant in concept development, distribution, and franchise management. Jacqueline comes on the show today to share her personal experiences being a Can-Asian woman and walks alongside me as we uncover and unpack the differences between positive and offensive representation in media and toys.
