For APAHM, we're highlighting some of our fellow Asian American podcasts from the Potluck Podcast Collective. On this last day of APAHM, we're sharing an episode from our sister show, First of All, a podcast where host Minji Chang takes a real, unfiltered conversation on career, family, love, & modern culture. On her latest episode, Minji chats with writer and director Adele Lim. You can check out First of All and our other fellow #PotluckPods at podcastpotluck.com---A lot of good can come out of striving for excellence - a high standard of quality, valuable skillsets and smarts, plus amazingly positive contributions to self and society. It can also have a dark side in the form of all-consuming and suffocating perfectionism - an existence where there's no room for error or subpar...well, anything. Every flaw, every "mistake" is irreparable or at the very least, a lasting source of guilt and shame. So many people are familiar with this kind of pressure, and some of the MOST familiar with this insane demand are Asian/Asian American women. In this episode, Minji sits down with Adele Lim, Malaysian American film and tv producer and writer, who is now the new director of the upcoming (and very raunchy) Asian American female-led comedy Joy Ride. Together they dive into Adele's upbringing in Malaysia through her journey in Tinseltown, struggling to defend facets of herself, and other women like her, that weren't always welcomed or valued in her home, community, or industry. They blow off steam on how oppressive and straight up boring it is to be perfect all day everyday. They also reinforce how giving ourselves permission to be human beings who do occasionally make mistakes and imperfect, loud, opinionated, sloppy, unruly, questionable choices is liberating AF, mentally healthy, and...OK. We can love ourselves at our best and our worst!Follow Our Guest Adele Lim:Instagram (@adeleblim)Twitter (@adeleblim)Follow Minji On:Instagram (@minjeezy)Instagram (@firstofallpod)▫️ Music featured in this episode include "Uzutrap" & “omg” by Gloria Kim▫️ NEW!!: Subscribe to First Of All on YouTube & check out our S4 episodes on video!▫️ Follow the show on Instagram and Twitter and support our Patreon▫️ This podcast is part of Potluck: An Asian American Podcast CollectiveAudio Engineer @marvinyuehProducer Da Eun Kim @daeunkmSocial Media...
To finish up APAHM, we're highlighting another one of our fellow Asian American podcasts from the Potluck Podcast Collective. This time we're dropping an episode of our fellow #PotluckPod QUARANTINED COMICS, a podcast where hosts Raman and Ryan discuss, debate, and nerd out on some of the comic's greatest, latest, and strangest works, about Gene Luen Yang's seminal graphic novel, AMERICAN BORN CHINESE, now a television series on Disney+. ---So with Asian American Heritage Month, we decided that G should be for Gene Luen Yang ...mostly as an excuse to read AMERICAN BORN CHINESE, Yang's Eisner Award-winning, seminal graphic novel soon to be released as a Disney+ streaming show with a bevvy of Oscar winners. American Born Chinese is Gene Luen Yang's was first released in 2006 - written and illustrated by Yang, and also colored by cartoonist Lark Pien. American Born Chinese consists of three seemingly disparate tales...First, the legendary Chinese Monkey King from the classic 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West. However, blink and you might miss it, but Yang replaces the Buddha with a Christian influenced deity.The second storyline is the all-too-familiar Asian American coming of age story of a young American Born Chinese man Jin Wang, who befriends a new arrival from Taiwan, Wei Chen. As with any story of teen drama, romance is afoot with Jin's American crush Amelia Harris. And the third story depicts an American TV sitcom with All American boy Danny and his cousin visting from Chin-kee, who if you couldn't tell from the name alone, is meant to be an amalgam of racist stereotype, from the outlandish costume, heavy accent, buck teeth, and yes, predilection for putting pee pee in your coke. Eventually these three tales become come together into a poignant lesson of culture and self acceptance. ---*Support the podcast by purchasing books at our bookshop or by buying Books & Boba merch at our Bonfire store*Follow our hosts:Reera Yoo (@reeraboo)Marvin Yueh (@marvinyueh)Follow us:FacebookTwitterGoodreads GroupThis podcast is part of Potluck: An Asian American Podcast Collective
This week in Asian American politics: Uber's Asian American head of diversity hosts a panel called “Don't Call Me Karen.” Wh*te supremacy? In my APAHM? It's more likely than you think. Taiwan's last comfort woman dies at 92. We discuss the history of comfort women and why a lot of Asian countries hate Japan. Apparently, Asian Americans think a lot about dying, more so with COVID and racism, but don't do anything to plan for that? It gets a little existential in here. A white model posts a TikTok about how her undocumented, Filipino nanny gets to return to the Philippines for the first time in 30 years to see her actual kids.

Part of Potluck's APAHM show swap series please enjoy this episode of Quarantined Comics!---This week, in honor of the Chinese New Year (恭喜發財) we revisit favorite cartoonist Gene Luen Yang for his 2013 two-volume epic BOXERS & SAINTS - which tells the story of the late 19th Century Boxer Rebellion, from two sides, injecting magical realism injected into the complexity of historical events. It's got everything - bald dudes with pony tails swinging ancient Chinese swords channeling the ancient spirits of Chinese lore. a converted Chinese Christian youth channeling the spirit of Joan of Arc, and a historical fiction allegory (or one-sided commentary) on the follies of our "civilized" hubris. This 2-part graphic novel was Yang's sophomore follow-up to his award-winning comic "American Born Chinese" — BOXERS & SAINTS lays bare the foundations of extremism, rebellion, and faith.

AAPIs are making progress, BUT, and it's a big BUT, new studies and surveys by Bain & Company, STAATUS, USA Today and AAJA reveal that progress in many areas including big business, visibility, belonging and media representation is lagging. May highlights these findings as well as calls out the need for activists to fight with real and authentic intention rather than practicing "performative activism". She explains in this episode in her usual unbridled and unapologetic way!

What should you NOT do when visiting Korea, Laos, or China? Two of our favorite episodes from season 1 are "24. Quirks of Being a Chinese American and a Korean American (part 1)" and "25. Chinese School, Korean birthdays, and our names (part 2)," and we wanted to expand this series and share Hmong culture as well. We have tons of fun chatting about superstitions, pregnancy dreams, weddings, birthdays, dating, new year celebrations, common household items, and words that sounds the same in Hmong, Korean, and Mandarin. We also end by sharing some Hmong and Konglish jokes!More about Dee DeeDee Dee is a Hmong American woman from Fresno, CA.

The final episode in this series will be covering the attack on the Filipina auntie that took place in New York City, back in March. 65-year old Filipina, Vilma Kari, was attacked in NYC's Time Square back in March by a man named Brandon Elliot. As Elliot attacked, he proceeded to yell racial slurs to Kari. Since then, Elliot has been arrested, and Kari has been discharged from the hospital. Despite the arrest of Elliot, many people are still outraged by the attack on another Asian-American elder. Many have also criticized the security guards that stood by as the attack happened.

The phrase “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” is buzz-word-ier than ever, but what does it really take to empower workers and reduce racialized harm in the places where we spend so many of our waking hours? And when is it OK to simply stop trying? In this second episode of a three-part series, guest host Alex Sujong Laughlin (Senior Producer at Transmitter Media) invites Gautam Srikishan (Producer at the On Being Project) and Snigdha Sur (Founder and CEO of The Juggernaut) to discuss their own experiences with creating more inclusive and equitable workplaces — whether that involves organizing your fellow workers into a union or breaking away from big media companies entirely to start your own workplace. Along the way, Snigdha, Gautam, and Alex also open up about how difficult it is to take on this responsibility... especially when it’s hard to see the results of your efforts.

What's up y'all! After two months, it felt like it was time to talk about this case. For episode five of the APAHM, we'll be covering the Atlanta spa shootings and some the updates that have been in the news. A man by the name of Robert Aaron Long shot up three Asian-owned spas in Atlanta on March 16, 2021. Eight people were murdered, and six of those victims were of Asian descent. Communities called this murder out as a hate crime, but many people outside of APIs claim otherwise. People including Captain Jay Baker, of Cherokee County Police Department, considered this crime nothing more than a "bad day."

Welcome to episode four of the APAHM series. In today's episode, we will be covering this case in the true crime fashion. Vincent Chin was a Chinese-American man that was murdered, in cold blood, by Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz. Chin was "mistaken" as Japanese by both Ebens and Nitz. The two blamed Chin and the rest of the Japanese for having their jobs taken away. During the first trial, Ebens and Nitz were only charged with probation and a small fine. It wasn't until this case blew that the country demanded justice for Chin. Resources used in this episode: Bates, K. (2021, March 27). How Vincent Chin's death gave others a voice.

When’s the last time you had a conversation with someone of Asian descent? Not just a transactional conversation, or a “hi how are you” mumbled in passing, but one where you saw them as a product of their history and experiences and asked them something perhaps more sensitive and interesting than “where are YOU from?” Something about their goals, their passions, and how their identities may have played into shaping who they are, rather than relying on the stereotypes that are so pervasive in American culture? Our guest today, Jerry Won, is the host of Dear Asian Americans, a podcast featured by Apple Podcasts at the TOP of the list of podcasts to listen to for Asian American Pacific Islander Month this May. His podcast growth has more than quadrupled since the latest slew of anti-Asian hate - and he’s used it as an opportunity for personal and professional growth to get more narratives of the often under-celebrated Asian community in America out into the world. Have questions, comments, or concerns? Email us at hello@dearwhitewomen.com What to listen for: How Asian cultural norms might shape how vocal Asian people in America might be What Jerry thinks about the model minority myth, and how it places an artificial divide between Asians in America and other minoritized communities The hypocrisy of people who stand against immigrants, when most of us are descendants of immigrants - even if you look White How making assumptions about your Asian colleagues may be harming them About Jerry: Jerry Won is a storyteller, brand builder, and community leader. He is the Founder & CEO of Just Like Media, an Asian American storytelling company whose podcast brands include Dear Asian Americans, recently featured as the top podcast for APAHM by Apple, and currently working with McDonald’s on the #WeAreAPA campaign. He is a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator and has worked with organizations such as Johnson & Johnson, LEK Consulting, Horizon Media, and Pepsi. Jerry speaks on a variety of topics including authentic storytelling and the Asian American experience in the workplace. Prior, he was a Senior Strategy Consultant at Accenture and sales leader at start-ups and F500 companies. Jerry has a BS from USC Marshall and an MBA from Michigan Ross, where he served as President of the Student Government Association. He has served in board and leadership roles of alumni organizations and community non-profits. Along with his wife Kyung and his two children, Jerry lives in Southern California. Like what you hear?

The impact of storytelling is often portrayed as a story changing the life of the person consuming it — and changing the world by reaching as many people as possible. But what about the person who offers their story to be consumed? How else can we define the value of our life’s stories, and the importance of how they’re shared? In this second episode of a three-part series, Managing Producer James Boo invites Randy Kim (Host of the Banh Mi Chronicles) and Tracey Nguyen Mang (Host of The Vietnamese Boat People) to dig deep and get personal about how they’ve seen participation in storytelling change the life of one person at a time. Our team decided to host these conversations because in the U.S. it’s once again Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time that can often feel routine and repetitive. And during a year when absolutely nothing has been routine, we hope these episodes will join many other podcasts, panels, and events in diving beneath the surface of representation, diversity, and inclusion.
In our second Diverse episode during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2021, Dr. Vidya Chamundeswari, a member of SWE's Asian Connections Affinity Group leadership team, speaks with Gloria Montano, SWE's first Asian American president (1997-1998).

Welcome back, this is episode three of the APAHM series. Today's episode will cover the Watsonville riots of 1930. The Watsonville riots were acts of racial violence toward Filipino farmworkers over the course of 5 days from January 19, 1930 to January 23, 1930. This riot resulted in the death of Fermin Tobera. It wasn't until 2011 when the State of California apologized for these acts. And it wasn't until 2020 that the City of Watsonville issued a formal apology. Let's take a look at some of the reasons why this event happened, and the aftermath. Resources from this episode: Equal Justice Initiative. (2019, November 11). Filipino farmworkers.

Welcome to Episode 28! Korean Americans are more than K-pop, Korean BBQ, and K-dramas. The Korean diaspora has been gaining notice because of many of the things happening both in South Korea and here in the U.S. But when did Koreans begin coming to the U.S.? What caused them to immigrate? In this episode, Gen and Ted talk over the different waves of immigration that make up the Korean American population. We also take time to discuss and react to a few recent surveys and reports from StopAAPIHate.org, The Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism, and the STAATUS Index Report by Leading Asian Americans to Unite for Change (LAAUNCH).

Welcome back everyone! This is the second episode to the Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month series. Today we'll be focusing on the model minority myth and its unfortunate effects. The model minority is a myth that views APIs in a "do-gooder" monolith, ultimately erasing diversity and struggles in API communities. It may be viewed as compliment to others, but is ultimately a problem to all. In this episode, we'll be focusing on what it is and the communities it harms. Resources from this episode: BLACKBURN, S.

We often take for granted that “seeing people who look like us” — especially in mass media — means progress towards racial justice. But what forms of representation do we see making an impact? And who is that impact for? In this first episode of a three-part series, Senior Producer Julia Shu invites Eliza Romero (co-host of Unverified Accounts and blogger at Aesthetic Distance), Marvin Yueh (co-host of Books & Boba and co-creator of the Potluck Podcast Collective), and Thomas Mangloña II (journalist and co-founder of the Pacific Islander Task Force at AAJA) — to question conventional wisdom and share what kind of representation we want to have more of. Our team decided to host these conversations because in the U.S. it’s once again Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time that can often feel routine and repetitive. And during a year when absolutely nothing has been routine, we hope these episodes will join many other podcasts, panels, and events in shaking up the usual talking points of representation, diversity, and inclusion for AAPIHM.

You've heard Sophia & Da Eun mention several times that a common experience we share is being brought up in the Bay. In the spirit of eps 120 and 123, where we delved into Juliana and Brian's upbringing, we wanted to have an honest conversation reflecting back on our nuanced experience growing up in the Bay Area. And what better way to do that than to reconnect with old friends who we haven't had an in-depth conversation with before on the topic?In this episode, Da Eun is joined by an old classmate and friend, Gabby, also known as Gentle Oriental, as they unpack what their high school experience was like, especially after having left the area for several years now. Our reflections of the Bay are informed by:our involvement in music, through band and orchestrathe new experiences college introduced to us (Da Eun stayed in the Bay while Gabby went to art school on the East Coast)the biases and conditioning we began to recognize as we entered new vibrant Asian American communities (anti-blackness, model minority myth)the lack of education around activism and social justiceour disparate experiences in NYC, one other location we both share in commonStay tuned for next week's episode, where Sophia invites her childhood friend to continue the conversation around the Bay Area!More about Gentle Oriental:Gentle Oriental, aka Gabrielle Widjaja (she/her) is a 24-year-old Chinese-Indonesian born, California-raised, Brooklyn-based creative who explores the intersection of visual ephemera and Asian diasporic identity through design, illustration and tattoo.⟡ instagram: @gentle.orientalFollow us on:⟡ instagram: @bambooandglass⟡ links to various platforms: beacons.ai/bambooandglass⟡ website: www.bambooandglass.buzzsprout.com⟡ Da Eun: @daeunkm⟡ Sophia: @sophiasysunSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bambooandglass)
The Empowered in Color Podcast: Helping People of Color Thrive in Business and in Life
Hi friends, today's episode is a short one due to the craziness of the U.S. election! Here's how we can stay active and maintain momentum even as the news of the election comes and goes: 1. Learn who your representatives are at every level! At the city, county, state, and national levels there are representatives who are meant to speak on your behalf as a constituent directly (city council person, county commissioner, state senator, state assemblyperson, congressperson, U.S. senator). Learn who they are so you can hold them accountable to speak on your behalf for issues that affect you & your community. 2. Keep in touch with the news, at least know what is going on. While doing so, try not to watch news that skew so much to one side as you want to be able to not only trust what you're being told, but you still want to be able to research and verify the information yourself. Even as a progressive, I won't really pay attention to super progressive leaning news sites. This also helps me in being able to present facts when talking to someone who may be sharing propaganda. 3. Get involved locally! There are so many organizations (both political and issue-based) that are working to fix some of the injustices and inequities in our communities, so pick one and do what you can to be involved. Sure, you can always donate, but many of us may not be in a place to do so, so let's try and volunteer however we can. Mentioned on this week's episode: EIC 029: APAHM and Young People in Politics with Shaniyat Chowdhury EIC's Newsletter Take our audience survey! Thanks for listening!

NOTE: This is a previously recorded episode completed in the month of May to honor Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month. It was recorded several days before the outrage and protests broke out in response to the muders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, along with countless others. We held off on releasing this episode in order to support the Black lives matter movement and to avoid taking attention away from the critical issues at hand. The movement for justice and equaity is both a relay and a marathon. As we find our place in the revolution, we acknowlege that Asian Americans, and Filipinos in particular, have been complicit in systems of injustice towards Black communities. We stand against racism in all forms. Black Lives Matter. Over the past week of listening, learning, and advocating, we are realizing that the intersection of mental health and race are more relevant than ever in the current climate. We hope this episode inspires and encourages you to take care of you personal wellness and to not shy away from hard conversations with your family and community. —————————————— How does our identity as Asian (Filipina) Americans shape our relationship with mental health? In this episode we tackle the impact that being the children of Asian immigrants has on our relationship with mental health and therapy. We share our stories of our childhood and how culture shaped our identity. We talk about the dominant message we told ourselves about emotion and the internalized fear of being “maarte” (slang for drama queen.) We hash out our experiences with our first therapy appointments and and barriers to therapy. We also talk about we look for when “dating around” for a therapist and what we look for in “the one.” Note: CBT is the acronym for cognitive behavioral therapy. Finally we share what we love about being Filipina. Again, we hope this episode inspires and encourages you to take care of your personal wellness and to not shy away from hard conversations with your family and community.

As we kickstart this month of APAHM + mental health awareness, we wanted to continue to openly share our experiences with mental health. This week, @xoxochristinechen updates us on her progress with depression and gives us insight on how to really be there for the people you love who are struggling with depression and other mental health conditions. Always remember that you're never alone. Sharing your thoughts and feelings when you’re ready can help immensely to release and heal. The more that we are willing to talk about the challenges we're going through mentally and emotionally, the more that we understand one another. Mental health isn't scary. It doesn't define you. You are strong, and you will get through this.

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, APAHM for short! During this month, we celebrate the cultures, traditions, and history of AAPI’s in the United States. This country is very much shaped by the stories of immigrants from Asia and the Pacific and the native people of the Pacific Islands. Today, we will be sharing with you our personal stories as Asian American women -- the traditions and foods we remember from our childhood, where we grew up, what it was like to visit "the motherland", and how these experiences have impacted our journey with shaping our own cultural identity.

Is some AAPI representation better than none? May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), yet mainstream APAHM celebrations have historically commemorated East Asian American history and heritage. We know APAHM goes beyond the month of May and East Asian American narratives, and that our Southeast Asian, South Asian, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities are equally important in AAPI history. In this episode, we give our hot takes on AAPI representation, how and where we fit into Asian America, and the importance of authenticity in living out our identities as Hmong Americans. We know that our ancestors did not die fighting for sovereignty for us to not embrace our unique history, heritage, and role in Asian America. This month, we pay homage to the generations who came before us and the opportunities that we have today to use our voices and power in advancing social justice.
In celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), SWE is highlighting Asian American and Pacific Islander women engineers. For our first podcast during APAHM, Le Si Qu, SWE's Asian Connections Affinity Group Co-Lead, interviews Nora Lin, retired engineering project manager at Northrop Grumman and past president of the Society of Women Engineers, FY 2010. In this episode, Nora discusses her career in STEM, her experiences as a past SWE president and advice for aspiring engineers and technologists.
Myke doesn't know how he waited this long into May - so long that it's June now - to talk about Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, but don't you worry - he does. Well mostly just the Asian movies he's watched lately. Derek has also finally caught up with Barry so we talk about that before we finally get to talking about the big boy of the weekend, Godzilla, as we get into a spoiler review of King of the Monsters.
We talk about topical news about Filipina migrants murdered while working overseas, New Zealand man trying to mow down an Asian family and trash being dumped by western nations in South-East Asia Full VoD: https://youtu.be/UG-W39AlO48?t=3903

And what better way to remember the one story (along with the Japanese American Internment) that lingers as the moral compass of the community. For that reason, this Memorial Day will be a special one for Filipino WWII Veteran Celestino Almeda. Despite many vets seeing an equity pay windfall in 2009, a handful like Almeda are still in appeals. His fight for justice with the U.S. government has been the bureaucratic version of the Bataan Death March. hat's no disrespect to the survivors of that historic event 75 years ago. Almeda certainly will remember deceased friends like retired U.S. Air Force Major Jesse Baltazar, a former POW who survived the Bataan Death March in 1942, and died just last year at age 96. Baltazar often accompanied Almeda, fighting side by side in the latter's bureaucratic battle with the VA over equity pay. Almeda was a young soldier in the Philippine Army reserve, when he answered the call of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to protect the Philippines with the U.S. Armed Forces of the Far East. The added lure was full benefits as a soldier, including U.S. citizenship. As you'll hear in my interview with him on Emil Amok's Takeout, Almeda, the reservist, was made active for a year. He was then made inactive when Gen. MacArthur retreated to Australia as the Japanese took over Manila. Almeda has official Philippine Army documents signed by U.S. officers to document all that. What he doesn't have is the record that he served in the guerrilla forces, which Almeda says were only verbal orders. Once the war was over, he was made active again and served side-by-side Americans. There would be no problem until President Truman signed the Rescission Act of 1946. which stripped the Filipino veterans of any right to the benefits that had been promised for their service. Ever since then--for more than 70 years--Filipinos like Almeda have been fighting piecemeal for a restoral of all the benefits due them. Almeda's service has been good enough to help get him U.S. citizenship in 1990. He's even been given a VA card for medical benefits. But it wasn't until President Obama in 2009 finally came through with a lump sum payment of $15,000 to Filipino veterans living in the U.S., and $9,000 for those still in the Philippines, that Almeda found himself in the bureaucratic battle of his life. The VA has approved more than nearly 19,000 cases, according to its website. The payout has been more than $220 million. But it's also rejected close to 24,000 cases. There's about $56 million left in the pot. But that doesn't mean the VA is willingly giving it out, at least not to Almeda. The VA wouldn't honor his Philippine Army documents, though he has kept the originals in pristine condition. He's still currently in appeal, but in the meantime, he's taken to public protests like one last year when Robert McDonald, the VA Secretary under Obama appeared in public. In the Q&A part of the program, Almeda tried to appeal to McDonald but had his mic turned off. MacDonald's reaction got a stern rebuke from retired General Antonio Taguba, the general who led the investigation into Abu Ghraib. Taguba additionally pointed out that updates to the law--PL 111-5, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation)--directed the Secretary of VA to consider all forms of evidence of service and not just those originally considered. "This amendment has not been fully executed by the VA," Taguba complained to Mc Donald. Now a year later, McDonald's out, a new VA head is in, and Almeda is still fighting for justice, seemingly locked in the Bataan Death March of appeals, hoping to get approved for his lump sum before he turns 100. It's Memorial Day, but his taste for justice has not died. Listen to him tell his story on Emil Amok's Takeout. Days before his 100th birthday, Almeda's still got a lot of fight left. AAAS President-elect Theo Gonzalves on the relevance of Asian American Studies today On my recent trip to Washington, DC, I was able to talk to an old friend, Theo Gonzalves of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and the president-elect of the Association for Asian American Studies. What are they doing? How has Asian American Studies stayed relevant? How valuable is the AAS degree? Use the fast forward and listen to Gonzalves, where he thinks Asian American Studies is going, and the importance of APAHM.

BIO Emil Guillermo wrote for almost 15 years his "Amok" column for AsianWeek, which was the largest English language Asian American newsweekly in the nation. "Amok" was considered the most widely-read column on Asian American issues in the U.S. His thoughtful and provocative social commentaries have appeared in print in the San Francisco Chronicle, SFGate.com, San Francisco Examiner, USA Today, Honolulu Star Bulletin, Honolulu Advertiser, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and in syndication throughout the country. His columns are seen in Asia and around the world, on Inquirer.net. His early columns are compiled in a book "Amok: Essays from an Asian American Perspective," which won an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation in 2000. Guillermo's journalistic career began in television and radio broadcasting. At National Public Radio, he was the first Asian American male to anchor a regularly scheduled national news broadcast when he hosted "All Things Considered" from 1989-1991. During his watch, major news broke, including the violence in Tiananmen Square, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the end of dictatorships in Romania and Panama. From Washington, Guillermo hosted the shows that broke the news. As a television journalist, his award-winning reports and commentaries have appeared on NBC, CNN, and PBS. He was a reporter in San Francisco, Dallas, and Washington, D.C. After NPR, Guillermo became a press secretary and speechwriter for then Congressman Norman Mineta, the former cabinet member in the Bush and Clinton Administrations. After his Hill experience, Guillermo returned to the media, hosting his own talk show in Washington, D.C. on WRC Radio. He returned to California where he hosted talk shows in San Francisco at KSFO/KGO, and in Sacramento at KSTE/KFBK. Guillermo's columns in the ethnic press inspired a roundtable discussion program that he created, hosted, executive produced, resulting in more than 100 original half-hour programs. "NCM-TV: New California Media" was seen on PBS stations in San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles, and throughout the state on cable. Guillermo also spent time as a newspaper reporter covering the poor and the minority communities of California's Central Valley. His writing and reporting on California's sterilization program on the poor and minorities won him statewide and national journalism awards. In 2015, Guillermo received the prestigious Dr. Suzanne Ahn Award for Civil Rights and Social Justice from the Asian American Journalists Association. The award, named after the late Korean American physician from Texas, recognizes excellence in the coverage of civil rights and social justice issues in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Guillermo, a native San Franciscan, went to Lowell High School, and graduated from Harvard College, where he was named Ivy Orator as the class humorist.
