8. A Conversation About Black and Asian Solidarity (Part 2)

This episode comes a day after Juneteenth (June 19), a holiday that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S. and celebrates Black American/African American freedom and achievement. However, it’s also a reminder that we have a long way to go in seeking racial justice—we must acknowledge the ways that modern-day slavery presents itself and the contemporary oppression that Black people face. What is needed is sustained celebration and support—Black lives matter, not just today, but always—but many people out there may not know how exactly to go about doing that. So I asked my friends Emily Ndiokho, Amiri Tulloch, Michael Codrington, and Jungwoo Park to join me to have a conversation about Black and Asian solidarity. In part 2 of this conversation, we talk about performative social media activism, whether corporations and educational institutions can be anti-racist, what Asian/Americans and other non-Black people can do to be better allies of the Black community, and more.
