Podcast appearances and mentions of Alex Tizon

Alex Tizon (1959-2017) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who built a career telling the stories of people at the margins. The underdogs. The forgotten ones. Everyday people. Immigrants, criminals, and folks on the fringe. Tizon believed that every human had a story to tell; they only needed to be invited to share it. In Invisible People: Stories of Lives at the Margins, Tizon's friend and former colleague, Sam Howe Verhovek, brought his stories together in a deeply human collection of work. Tizon had a knack for illuminating the stories of people typically hidden from view. From UFO-tracking outliers to immigrants from Cambodia and Laos, Verhovek brought such tales together to paint a rich and empathetic picture of humanity. Included is one of Tizon's most important and controversial stories, which appeared on the cover of The Atlantic just months after his death in 2017. “My Family's Slave” offered a painful and personal account of Eudocia “Lola” Tomas Polido, the enslaved woman who raised him and his siblings in the Philippines and later in America in the 1960s and 70s. Tizon's exploration of personal ethics, family loyalty, human rights, and positions of power remain critical conversations to continue now, more than ever; Invisible People helps us keep them going. Alex Tizon was an assistant professor of journalism at the University of Oregon. He served on The Seattle Times staff for 17 years and won the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting along with two colleagues. He was the second Philippine-born journalist to win a Pulitzer. He served as the Seattle bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times, contributed to Newsweek and 60 Minutes, and was a frequent contributor to The Atlantic. He was also the author of the award-winning memoir Big Little Man: In Search of My Asian Self. Sam Howe Verhovek is a former national correspondent for The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. He has been writing for newspapers since high school and was editor-in-chief of The Stanford Daily during his senior year of college. After graduation, he was hired by New York Times columnist and editor James Reston for a one-year “clerkship” to serve as Mr. Reston's assistant in the Washington bureau. He also worked as a reporter for the Asahi Evening News in Tokyo and as a journalism teacher in Beijing before returning to The New York Times as a metro reporter in New York. Melissa Tizon is the widow of late Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Alex Tizon. Trained as a journalist, Melissa is the vice president of national communication for Providence, one of the largest health systems in the U.S. She has lived in Seattle for more than 20 years.

From Amy Tan to Michelle Kwan to Constance Wu, there are many Asian American women who have achieved great success and are upheld as leading figures of the community. But sometimes (and especially online), Asian male support is muted or reluctant. Is it resentment at seeing women in power at all? Or does it have anything to do with the feeling that only by closely allying with whiteness can Asian women succeed at the highest levels in America, thus leaving Asian men behind? Is that what’s behind some of the online harassment of Asian women by some Asian men? In this special-format podcast, Jess poses simple but direct questions for Teen, Oxford, and Jong to answer in hopes of further illuminating the Asian male perspective.

Most of us have read “My Family’s Slave” on the Atlantic, written by the late Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alex Tizon.  The article saddened us, angered us, and confused us.  What’s to make of the story of Eudocia Pulido, aka Lola, who toiled her whole life against her will and without pay for a family that wasn’t...

This week, we join the global conversation on The Atlantic's essay "My Family's Slave," in which Alex Tizon writes about Eudocia Tomas Pulido, who was his family's katulong, or domestic servant, for 56 years. Why did Eudocia's story hit such a raw nerve in the U.S. and the Philippines? Shereen and Gene talk to Vicente Rafael, a professor who has studied and written about the practice in his native Philippines. We also hear from Lydia Catina Amaya, a Filipina who was a katulong in the Philippines and the United States. And we talk to Melissa Tizon, the author's widow. Eudocia Tomas Pulido lived in their home for the last 12 years of her life.

Episode title: Michango ya harusi Description: We catch up your comments (thanks for the feedback!) and Ciara/Future/Russell drama. Also, Golder recaps the Bollywood movie Half-Girlfriend, and urges you to go see her bae Charlie Hunnam in King Arthur. We then sink into the topic of wedding contributions, the bane of our existence. We rant about some of our frustrations around this subject, our ideal weddings and why we think Instagram has ruined weddings. SPOILER ALERT: Skip to 20:55 in order to avoid Half-Girlfriend spoilers.

Somewhat coincidentally with this week's episode, I came across this article written by the late Alex Tizon, a Pullitzer prize winning journalist entitled “My Family's Slave”. In it, Tizon describes how his parents effectively kept a woman against her will to cook, clean and take care of his family. This falls squarely under the modern definition of slavery. This week, we delve into the topic of human trafficking and modern slavery. It is a topic that is sobering but important. It also mind-boggling to learn that that are some 25-30 million slaves currently in the world. My guest is Nancy Hartwell. Nancy is an American author, translator and playwright. She has written three books on human trafficking. Nancy first became fascinated and horrified with this topic several years ago whilst she was living in Cameroon (Nancy lived there for fourteen years and has worked and travelled extensively across the globe). This was prompted when an acquaintance of hers, a German woman in her early twenties, mysteriously disappeared. It was later revealed that she was sold into the sex trade in the Persian Gulf. Since then, Nancy has been collecting stories on human trafficking which she eventually turned into three books – two fiction and one non-fiction. She has also examined the various aspects of human trafficking in the modern world. In this conversation, we discuss: What human trafficking is; The scale and scope of the problem; The different forms of human trafficking and modern slavery; Why governments are not doing enough; Ways in which we can help combat the problem; How to protect our children and loved ones from human trafficking Show notes: Nancy's website: www.nancyhartwell.com  Nancy's ecourse on human trafficking: http://www.nancyhartwell.com/ecourse.html  Nancy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nancy.hartwell.71  Nancy on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-hartwell-2806318/  Nancy's books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nancy-Hartwell-Enonchong/e/B00J20KGAI/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3?qid=1495408466&sr=8-3  The Madeleine McCann case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Madeleine_McCann  US State Dept.

Immigration seems the issue on everyone's mind today.  Yet with all the thinking and all the talking, we forget half the story.  It’s not just about how the receiving country deals with new immigrants, it’s also about the immigrant’s experience and how that experience, especially for young children, will shape their lives, and in turn their contribution to and role in, the greater society of which they become a part.  When we look at the mass migration to America’s shores at the beginning of the 20th century, we get a glimpse of how that plays out.  Alex Tizon, came to America from the Philippines.  He would go on to become a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and the former Seattle bureau chief for the LA Times and currently teaches at the University of Oregon.  His memoir of his immigrant experience is Big Little Man: In Search of My Asian SelfMy conversation with Alex Tizon:
