    TW// hate crime Let's be honest ally-ship has been a trending topic for years now. The on going injustices only amplify the need for it. But personally I've been seeing a ton of failed attempts. Performative activism and failed ally-ship tend to go hand in hand. They also seem to be attempts to prove integrity in oneself. All in all it leaves me feeling off. So I'm confronting it. Yes that includes calling out celebrities and "stans" who never question their actions. Everyone is deserving of criticism because no one is flawless. It's okay to love someone and critic their mistakes. Now for links to help #StopAAPIHate & #StopAsianHate: #StopAsianHate GoFundMe GoFundMe for 65 year old target of a racially motivated hate crime A creator is making stickers and donating a portion of the money to Welcome To Chinatown Stop AAPI Hate website Compassion in Oakland which has a volunteer section Main Street Patrol which is taking volunteers and focusing on Flushing, Queens, NY I will be posting a thread on Twitter of tiktoks I found very informative.

    Hi! I'm kinda back on my grind. Releasing extra episodes to make up for my time off. Anyway. This episode means a lot to me. It pinpoints the reason I started this podcast in the first place. I was reading an old assignment from when I was 16 and it inspired to share what I've learned since then. My goal is still the same to make life more accessible even though I need to work on it with my own podcast. It is a passion I have. Something clicks when I advocate to make spaces better for all people. So here is a little look into what's important to me and why I started this podcast. Hope you enjoy!

    Another Self Discovery Episode

    So it seemed like you guys really enjoyed my episode on self discovery. The one I had titled finding your identity in your 20s, so I made another one. This process has been ongoing and it would not be possible without my therapist and surprisingly a lot of people on social media. I know therapy isn't as easily accessible as it should be so I plan to share TikToks with you that really helped me on my journey. I included some amazing people in this episode that their TikToks really help me and I think they might be able to help you. So I hope you enjoy this episode and let's go on this journey of self discovery together.

    Hello my peeps! I hope you're doing well. In this episode I discuss the difficulty in figuring yourself out. Whether you're in your teens or twenties it is a tough theme to explore. I talk about my teens ending and what that means to me and my apprehension in entering my twenties. I felt like I should have everything figured out by now and if I don't I'm failing; but that couldn't be more far from the truth. I hope this an ease anyone who is experiencing the same anxieties.

    Salutations people, In this episode I talk about how difficult it is to read literature in school that does not relate to you. In the states we are stuck on this archaic literature that often does not reflect current times. Also there just tends to be a lack of diversity in perspectives. Overall, I wanted to discuss my experience with reading in schools.

    Hey, So I noticed my episodes on mental health and loneliness well so I thought why not do another. This is more of a venting episode and just really opening up about being friendless in the middle of a pandemic. I don't even know where to begin on trying to make friends in your twenties but the added aspect of a pandemic makes it way more difficult. So yeah these are the topics I explore in this episode. Thanks for listening!

    Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to this late night episode. I recorded it at night but y'know listen whenever. I talk about my experience being lonely and being comfortable with it. But also longing for human interaction and friendship. I also discuss my current college situation and what is going on there. (Education and chronic illness mix like oil and water.) I discuss accepting the fact that I do fall under the umbrella term of disabled and my journey to accepting it. And finally to lighten the mood I talk about my new medical students! I am part of their curriculum and I have such a fun time. Also briefly talk about finding my aesthetic within music and clothing. Hope you enjoy

    Hey, I hope you're doing well! In this episode I wanted to have more of a fun convo type podcast with not so much medical jargon. I also wanted to put more of my personality in this episode. This is definitely a learning curve for me but I'm having tons of fun. This is also a shorter episode so I hope it is more digestible. I really wanted to keep things upbeat and light. Now onto what I actually talk about. I talk about my experience with getting piercings and I'm positive you won't know where this story is going. I really hope you enjoy listening. Bye
