Podcasts about Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

Since May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we think it's fitting to reshare this episode with Jane W. Wang. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/jane-w-wang-navigates-a-multicultural-heros-journey-classic-ep-312/ What we really appreciate about this interview with Jane back in 2021 is how she spoke so openly about how she dealt with her bouts of depression. She also shared how getting back in touch with her roots in Taiwan had a part in leading her to start her coaching practice. While she no longer offers the Multicultural Hero's Journey course that she refers to in this episode, she is still actively coaching clients. It's our hope that Jane's personal story can help destigmatize mental health and create more understanding about the coaching profession.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Jane's connection to Taiwan How being a third culture kid (TCK) has shaped her identity and life purpose Her career path before becoming a coach Why she wanted to become a coach Her personal journey, the struggles and depression that she dealt with along the way before she became a coach Why she decided not to get a degree in counseling from Columbia University and instead got certified in coaching What is coaching and how it differs from counseling or psychotherapy Jane's own experiences with coaching, being the person being coached by someone else Jane's advice on how to pick a coach to work with The challenges Jane faced in becoming a coach The depression and imposter syndrome she experienced in the process of becoming a coach How Jane dealt with her self-judgment and learned to love herself How Jane dealt with three bouts of depression What she learned from going through depression How someone can identify whether or not they themselves or someone they know is experiencing depression How Jane created her Multicultural Hero's Journey coaching program Who would benefit the most by going through the Multicultural Hero's Journey coaching program Jane's advice for people who are interested in becoming a coach What it takes to be a good coach   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/jane-w-wang-navigates-a-multicultural-heros-journey-classic-ep-312/  

  May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and since 1999, Congressman David Wu (OR) and the co-chairs of the Congressional Taiwan Caucus have supported the celebration of Taiwanese American Heritage Week starting from Mother's Day Weekend, so we thought this would be a good time to reshare one of our most popular episodes, an interview we did with Dr. Jerome Keating in 2020 about the history of Taiwan. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/understanding-the-history-of-taiwan-through-dr-jerome-keating-classic-ep-311/ Few contemporaries are more qualified than Dr. Jerome Keating on understanding the history of Taiwan. He has been living in Taiwan for over 30 years. Initially he came over to Taiwan to work on the MRT. He has written several books about Taiwan. We invited him on to the podcast to talk about this latest book, Taiwan The Struggle Gains Focus. Dr. Keating also reflected on how Taiwan has changed in the past 30 years, and we discussed things past and present including Taiwan's complicated international status, amendment of the constitution, changing the official name of Taiwan (which is the Republic of China) and redesigning the passport and flag of Taiwan.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   What motivated Dr. Keating to write his latest book, Taiwan The Struggle Gains Focus Who the book was intended for and who Dr. Keating writes for How Taiwan has changed in the last 30 years The semi-martial-like atmosphere of Taiwan when Dr. Keating arrived in 1988 Keating's first book Island in the Stream and what motivated him to write it What intrigues Dr. Keating about Taiwan as a subject matter How the San Francisco Peace Treaty (signed in 1951) left Taiwan in a limbo status How the US position on Taiwan 75 years after World War II is still undecided The circumstances surrounding “Taiwan” aka the Republic of China losing its seat in the United Nations in 1971, which included a proposal to have 2 Chinas in the United Nations The Republic of China and People's Republic of China's claims on China How Taiwan has never had a seat in the United Nations The Republic of China framework and constitution that Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang brought to Taiwan Keating's thoughts on amending Taiwan's constitution Changing the official name and flag that represent Taiwan Submissions for the new Taiwan passport cover design The Taiwan Civil Government wanting to make Taiwan the 51st state of the United States How Dr. Keating sees Taiwan's future   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/understanding-the-history-of-taiwan-through-dr-jerome-keating-classic-ep-311/

To begin the celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, this episode features a conversation with Dr. Catherine Ceniza Choy about her book Asian American Histories of the United States (Beacon Press, 2022). Choy's study identifies pivotal years in Asian American history as the focus of her eight chapters, which includes the beginning of Asian exclusionary policy with the Page Law in 1875, the rapid changes of 1965 and 1969, which saw a growing Asian America in understanding and demographics, to 2020 and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. In just 175 pages, Choy weaves together the layered histories of exclusion, violence, and resistance to rectify the generalizations that come from a “misunderstanding of Asian Americans and their histories” (Preface, ix).  Catherine Ceniza Choy is an award-winning Asian American historian and professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, Berkeley. She is the author of Global Families: A History of Asian International Adoption in America and Empire of Care: Nursing and Migration in Filipino American History, which won the 2003 American Journal of Nursing History and Public Policy Book Award and the 2005 Association for Asian American Studies History Book Award. An engaged public scholar, Choy has been interviewed in many media outlets, including ABC's 20/20, The Atlantic, CNN, the Los Angeles Times, NBC News, and Vox, about the history of anti-Asian hate and violence as well as the connections between racism and misogyny.

There are certain people that are just born to be on stage. Telly Leung is one of them. Hilary met Telly almost two decades ago when they did The King and I with Lou Diamond Phillips as the lead. Since then, "leading man" is something Telly is quite familiar with and it's a perfect fit.  From Aladdin on Broadway to other notable roles that include the Broadway revival and national tour of Rent, Godspell, Allegiance and In Transit...he's done it all.  And if you're a fan of the TV show Glee, it's hard to think of The Warblers without Wes.  But what Telly has learned during his devotion to the performing arts is that it comes with a responsibility. Especially when you're the star.   On this episode and in honor of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, HIListically Speaking, Telly opens up about placing race and diversity center stage. The importance of mental health and sharing your story.  And why taking a giant leap into new territory as a director is crucial for conscious conversations to exist; not only for the arts, but for mind, body and spirit as well.  Plus, Telly goes public for the first time about about an experiment that nurtured his mental and physical health. Something he's only shared with close family and friends...until now.   The curtain is rising and you are front row and center. Enjoy the conversation with the incredibly talented leading man, Telly Leung.  To connect and stay up to date on Telly, check out his website tellyleung.com and follow him on social @tellyleung.  The book Telly was reading, The Alcohol Experiment by Annie Grace.  If you enjoyed this conversation, Subscribe to HIListically Speaking and leave a rating and review wherever your headphones take you. If you find that you need support changing a habit or behavior, you can set up a complimentary discovery session with Hilary to see how she can support you on your healing journey.

During the 1970s, after the United States relaxed immigration restrictions, more Koreans began to settle in what became Los Angeles's 2.7-mile neighborhood of Koreatown. Over time, this enclave of Korean immigrants has become a hotbed of Korean culture – from Korean BBQ to K-Pop – making a significant impact on the culture and economy of our region. As CivitasLA celebrates Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, we are joined by three community and civic leaders, Janet Burt, Director of Diversity and Business Development, Lewis Brisbois; Alexander Kim, CEO, Three Kings Public Affairs; and OG Chino, Owner, Escala K-Town as we discuss the history of this neighborhood, the evolution of Korean American civic and political participation in our community, and the economic and cultural impacts on our region.

Milbern was born in 1987 in Seoul, South Korea. She grew up in Fort Bragg, North Carolina and began her service as a leader for disability justice at the age of 16. After noticing a lack of advocacy for disabled LGBTQ+ and people of color, she teamed up with other activists in 2005 to coin disability justice—a framework dedicated to ensuring the perspectives of traditionally marginalized groups within the disabled community weren't left out of the fight for disability rights. At the age of 24, Milbern moved to the Bay Area, California, where she worked tirelessly to organize, write, and speak for the movement, and became Director of Programs at the Center of Independent Living. In 2014, Milbern was appointed to the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities and served as an advisor to the national administration. “I want to leave a legacy of disabled people knowing we are powerful and beautiful because of who we are, not despite of it." - Stacey Park Milbern From advocating for national legislation to building community through the Disability Justice Culture Club—Stacey Milbern always dreamed big and lived up to her values. Happy 35th birthday, Stacey Park Milbern.

In honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we're talking about one of our favorite Asian American comics creators, Adrian Tomine! Specifically, we're discussing three of his stories: Hawaiian Getaway, Amber Sweet, and Killing and Dying. These are stories that were originally published in his comic book series Optic Nerve, and can now be found in the book collections Summer Blonde (for Hawaiian Getaway) and Killing and Dying (the other two stories). These three stories were (loosely) adapted into the 2021 French film Paris, 13th District, directed by Jaques Audiard. Justin from WAHW (We Are Half the World) joins us as we dissect the three comics stories and the film they inspired. We also discuss generally what we appreciate about Adrian Tomine's work.

On February 9th, the U.S. Senate confirmed Chantale Wong as the U.S. Executive Director of the Asian Development Bank. On that day, she became the first LGBTQ person of color and the first "out" lesbian, to hold the rank of ambassador in the U.S. For the past 30 years, Ambassador Wong has spurned tradition and overcome challenges to forge her own trailblazing path, breaking barriers along the way. Her journey began in 1960, when at the age of six, her grandmother smuggled her out of Shanghai, and has included a thirty year career in public service, including stops at San Francisco's Public Utilities Commission, NASA, the Treasury Department and a brief stint as photographer for the late Congressman John Lewis. During this Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we celebrated the life and career of Chantale Wong at a live event on May 3, 2022. This is an excerpt of her conversation with Dean Fealk. Guest: Ambassador Chantale Wong, U.S. Executive Director, Asia Development Bank Host:  Dean Fealk, World Affairs trustee and co-managing partner at DLA Piper.

We continue our celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with an explosion of events, programs, celebrations, rallies and so much more! May has been diving in head first to help amplify AAPI issues and educate and inform anyone and everyone who's willing to learn with an open heart and mind. 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!

To kick off season two of 20 Minute Takes, Nikki talks to Dr. Jonathan Tran, a theological ethicist and professor at Baylor University about his new book, Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism.

Please join me for the eighth episode in the Conversations with Alan series in The Locher Room for an in-depth discussion about Asian / Pacific American Heritage Month and the rise of violence, xenophobia and bigotry against the Asian / Pacific community resulting from the COVID19 pandemic. Joining me for this conversation are well known actors Jose Llana and BD Wong. Both of these talented men are outspoken about the rise of violence aimed at the Asian / Pacific community and are staunch supporters of the Stop AAPI Hate campaign. In March, Stop AAPI Hate released a report examining incidents that took place over roughly a year during the coronavirus pandemic. It revealed that the number of incidents reported surged from 3,795 to 6,603. Verbal harassment made up the vast majority of reports at 65 percent. Shunning, defined as the “deliberate avoidance of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders,” was the second most common form of discrimination at 18 percent, while physical assault comprised the third largest category at 13 percent. I hope you'll join BD, Jose and I for this important conversation about a topic very close to all our hearts. We must come together as one to understand the varying experiences other people go through. Let us open our eyes and our hearts to other people of varying races and religions.

“Asian Americans inhabit a purgatorial status: neither white enough nor black enough, unmentioned in most conversations about racial identity," writes Cathy Park Hong in her award-winning book, Minor Feelings. In this courageous and vulnerable conversation recorded during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Barrington mothers and community leaders Erin Chan Ding and Crystal Pepper sit down with hosts Zina Jacque and Jessica Green to share their experiences navigating pride in identity, the pain of discrimination, questions of visibility & invisibility, and the power of representation to create a more inclusive and equitable future for their children. Resources:Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (Library of Congress)Asian Americans (PBS)The Making of Asian America: A History by Erika LeeMinor Feelings by Cathy Park HongHow to Be An Anti-Racist by Dr. Ibram X.

We cap off our celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with a special episode honoring heroes of COVID-19. In every community, there are people who are answering the call to help those in need during this time of crisis. You'll meet a Chinese American doctor on the frontline of the war against COVID-19 in New York City, who has felt both celebrated and villainized by the public, but his focus remains clear…to save lives. You'll hear about how college students stepped up to help provide every day items like toiletries, food and toys for essential workers and their families. And meet a man whose medical technology company is on the cutting edge of making COVID-19 testing and tracking available to anyone with a smartphone. These are the heroes that exemplify compassion, empathy and selflessness.

We continue to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with a special interview with Adele Lim, television and film writer and producer who is best known as the co-screenwriter for the blockbuster hit “Crazy Rich Asians”. Adele was tapped to write the sequel to the film, but then walked away from the project when she discovered her writing fee was a fraction of what her white, male co-writer was offered. Adele took a bold stand proving she is not only, a badass woman, but also someone who isn't afraid to take action to incite change. May's original conversation with Adele was before COVID-19 hit in February so this episode is two parts…the original interview and a more updated chat where they both share their thoughts on everything from xenophobia to the future of Hollywood post-pandemic.

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and “The May Lee Show” is dedicating the month to highlight the identity, contributions and challenges experienced by Asian Americans. To kick off the celebratory month, this episode previews the upcoming documentary series “Asian Americans”, which will air on PBS May 11 & 12. The series covers the 150 year history of Asians in America including the struggles of Chinese railroad workers, the internment of Japanese Americans, the early Hollywood pioneers and the Asian trailblazers of Silicon Valley. The Asian American experience is vast, diverse and profound and the 5 hour series is a bold attempt at authentically telling the stories of Asians through the lens of Asians. May talks with Academy Award nominee Renee Tajima-Pena, the producer of “Asian Americans” about the making of the series and the important lessons that history can teach us, especially now in light of COVID-19 and the racism against Asians today.
