But, Where Are You Really From?

In 2019, Janice Lee & I started a podcast centered on Asian-American issues, ruminating on current events and discussing injustices that our community both faces & perpetuates.

As two straight, cisgender East Asian women, we acknowledge our various privileges and prioritize hearing different perspectives from those in and around our communities, believing that honest, vulnerable conversation brings us toward solidarity.
