EP 93: What’s Your Story? (Seeking) Answers Through Allyship
“Our show is an American podcast...”
“...and yet, because we look the way we look,
we’re seen as an Asian podcast...
and I think that ties into everything we're talking about right now.”
For this Fourth of July - we thought we’d share a decidedly AMERICAN conversation Sharon & Raman joined on ANOTHER podcast. Recently, friend-of-the-Pod Matt Story had us on “What’s Your Story” - his most excellent podcast featuring leaders of color - to continue our conversation on how different communities of color can come together to take the pain(s) that we are collectively feeling — and turn them into something that drives systemic change. ALSO - there may be a potentially billion-dollar idea we bring up that we want someone to build out ASAP.
