Why did you choose this theme? 

COVID has kicked up waves of anti-Asian hate and revealed ugly truths about our country. We often group Asian people by simple physical characteristics and don't understand the huge disparities - immigration, regulations, language, culture, socio-economic, and more - in the lived Asian experience, and we end up with harmful stereotypes like the "model minority myth." As biracial - White and Japanese - best friends and social justice podcasters/authors who are each daughters of a Japanese immigrant parent, uprooting myths and systemic racism against Asian people is part of our mission.
