6. Who I Am and How I’m Trying to Be a Better Ally

Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd. Countless others. Black lives matter today and every day.

In this episode, I introduce myself and talk about the major events in my life that have shaped me to be the person I am today and how those events have led me to make a life commitment to social justice. I also elaborate on what concrete things I’m currently doing to try to be a better friend and ally of the Black community and other people of color. Lastly, I answer the questions you sent me about what I’ve been up to in quarantine, how identifying as Asian American is empowering, and how being a “bad Asian” (i.e. someone who’s radical and not complacent with the system) is important to me.
