A weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists. Tonight we present our sister podcast Continental Shifts. Hosts Gabriel and Estella speak with Tavae Samuelu.   Opening: [00:00:00] Apex Express Asian Pacific expression. Community and cultural coverage, music and calendar, new visions and voices, coming to you with an Asian Pacific Islander point of view. It's time to get on board the Apex Express.   Swati Rayasam: [00:00:35] Good evening, everyone. You're listening to APEX Express Thursday nights at 7 PM. My name is Swati Rayasam and I'm the special editor for this episode. Tonight, we're wrapping up the podcast continental shifts created by bi-coastal educators, Gabriel Anthony Tanglao and Estella Owoimaha-Church who embark on a voyage in search of self, culture and the ancestors. Last time we featured the concept's podcast, Gabe and Estella, talked with union leader and educator Yan Yii about creating culturally relevant classrooms, the importance and emotional toll of teachers being a social safety net for marginalized students, and the ever-growing union presence in education. Tonight. They're talking to Tavae Samuelu about what it will take to organize across ethnic groups, specifically Pacific Islander and Asian communities, beyond ethnic or national lines. And what future we're visioning for when the US empire falls. If this is your first touch into the conshifts podcast, I strongly recommend diving into the apex archives on kpfa.org. Backslash programs, backslash apex express to check out the previous episodes. And also to check out the podcast on ConShift's site at continentalshifts.podbean.com or anywhere podcasts are found. But for now, let's get to the show.   Tavae Samuelu: [00:02:05] When Toni Morrison talks about Invisible Man and asked this question of like invisible to who? Like, what do I care if whiteness sees me? Also know I come across folks who are like, I say API cause I was taught that that was inclusive. And I was like, I bet you a PI didn't tell you that [laughs].   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:02:27] What will it take to organize across ethnic groups, specifically Pacific Islander and Asian communities. In this episode, we rap with the amazing Tavae Samuelu to strategize ways we might organize AAPI folks across and beyond ethnic or national lines.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:02:48] What up, what up? Tālofa lava, o lo'u igoa o Estella. My pronouns are she/her/hers, sis, uso.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:02:53] What's good, family? This is Gabriel, kumusta? Pronouns he/him.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:02:56] Tavae Samuelu is the daughter of a pastor from Leo Lumoenga and a nurse from Salemoa in Samoa as the executive director of Empowering Pacific Islander Communities, she's a passionate advocate for Pacific Islanders and is committed to liberation for all. Tavae was born, raised, and currently resides on Tongva territory. She credits her time on unceded Ohlone land for her political consciousness. During the pandemic, she has learned that her most important title is Auntie Vae. I had the pleasure of meeting Tavae at the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance Conference in Vegas a couple of years ago when I sat in on her workshop related to organizing Pacific Islander communities. It was, and I'm sure I've told her this by now, one of the first times in my life I have ever felt seen as a Samoan woman. Uso, thank you so much for joining us today. Please go ahead and take a few minutes to further introduce yourself to our listeners.   Tavae Samuelu: [00:03:57] Thank you, Stella. I've heard you say that before and it always makes me tear up [laughs]. That's also probably the most rewarding aspect of this job, of this community work, to be able to hear from people that they feel seen and validated. By, you know, by what we do and what, by what we put out there in the world. As I said, you know, currently residing on Tongva territory, what is momentarily known as Long Beach, California, until we get this land back to who it rightfully belongs to. You know I'm really clear and really intentional in this pro indigenous approach of naming the original stewards of this land because it's important to me that we know who to return the land to when this empire falls and that we're really clear, right? Not to just be in solidarity as a performative aspect, but naming our indigenous siblings who continue to exist, who are incredibly resilient and are still the experts on the best way to take care of this land and each other and how to be good relatives.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:05:13] She said, “when the empire fall,” I went [laughs].   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:05:16] When the empire, when the empire falls. When…so.   Tavae Samuelu: [00:05:19] I mean, let me credit to Dakota Camacho, who taught me to say “momentarily known as” I was like, yeah, that is a manifestation, if ever. I like that. I'm gonna, I'm gonna borrow that. Let me also cite Dakota Camacho for that.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:05:33] Tavae I would love to know just a little more about your backstory. What brought you to this work in particular, organizing in the Pacific Island community and spaces.   Tavae Samuelu: [00:05:43] My path was circuitous. I think there are a couple of milestones that are important to be explicit about. I've been Pacific Islander my entire life, right? Whatever that means to be born into racism and understand that race is a social construct. And so what it means to be Pacific Islander has also changed every single moment of my life. I would say that the way that I language and articulate my Pacific Islander identity most definitely needs to be credited to black feminist thought and that despite being Pacific Islander my entire life [laughs], it wasn't really until, you know, I was an undergrad at Cal and an ethnic studies major and introduced to Audre Lorde and bell H=hooks and Angela Davis and especially Kimberlé Crenshaw, right? The person who so often is not credited enough for coining intersectionality. But I want to be really clear, I didn't understand Pacific Islander until I got language from these black feminist thought leaders. Folks who were so so brilliant about naming what it means to walk around in a world that is both racist and sexist. And then, through an ethnic studies class that was on time on American History, right? I'm a first year Cal and it also meant I went kindergarten through 12th grade not hearing a single thing about Samoans. And had to get to my freshman year of college to see anything about us and having a lot of critical questions about why that is right. And everything leading to one thing or another. I was like, oh, well, there's not enough of us in higher education. So, well, why aren't there enough of us in higher education? I know. Brilliant smart, talented Pacific Islanders. So you start getting into like the systemic and institutional barriers around. So there was a lot of critical race theory consumption that happened for me really in gaining an elitist language for things that I experienced my entire life, right? And then after getting black feminist thought, then being able to read about Pacific Islanders through Epeli Hau'ofa and Sia Fiegel and Haunani Kay Trask and so many ancestors and elders who really blazed a trail around things, who became definite, and more recently, Teresia Teaiwa. So I say that, and there's also a piece of it where I would love to say that there was like this drive that came from this really positive place, but a lot of it was just anger. Like that initial phase of building your political consciousness where you wake up and realize how up is, oh, man like, what can I do? And then sort of moving throughout these other phases of political consciousness building where then I'm like, oh, but there are ways that I participate in the systems that disenfranchise us, but also that internal work and still being there. And so even most of my organizing and like even professional career has actually been in multicultural spaces outside of the Pacific Islander community. And it's really only with EPIC that I've been able to deeply engage in that. And the irony of being called Palangi or the Samoan word for white my entire life and then never feeling Pacific Islander enough and now being charged as the leader of a national Pacific Islander organization that is frequently asked to define PI, so, you know, that is the irony of the universe for me.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:09:07] There was so much, so much there. Our listeners cannot hear me like banging on the table and snapping and, but, again, you are another guest who has affirmed the absolute importance of ethnic studies in our education, in our process, and you are another guest who has affirmed the absolute necessity of black feminist thought, like in all of our upbringing and conscious awareness rising. And like maybe there's a case study here in season one [laughs] that's formulating on how we became the educators and organizers that we are. Gabriel, you were a social studies classroom teacher, and then moved into taking on union labor work like heavily, what was some of your motivation or inspiration to make the move from the classroom and step heavy into union labor organizing?   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:10:16] If I'm keeping it 100 percent real, I didn't want to leave the classroom. I loved the classroom. I still love the classroom. It was the foundation of just my passion in specifically the Bergenfield community, which we've talked about in the past episodes has a larger Filipino population. So not only was education, just a pathway to be able to help uplift, engage my people, young folks in my community. But the union organizing space in Bergenfield was also formative in allowing me to engage on a broader scale. So that said, when making the transition out of the classroom, which was a difficult decision, to step into the union organizing space on a statewide level, it was really just with the possibility of being able to support educators on a larger scale and have a broader impact and specifically in my role in professional development, I consider this the only type of full time union work that I would leave the classroom for because it's the closest to the classroom. And in professional development, I think there's this old school perception on PD that's really sit and receive canned PowerPoints. And I feel like this conversation around organizing, there's actually a really fascinating exploration between facilitation, education, and organizing. They all pull from the similar skill sets, right? Sharing resources, bringing people together in shared learning, collective understanding, trying to figure out how the collective wisdom can allow us to just transform the community spaces, the up society in which we live. All of the things, Tavae set it off so we can do that she established some new rules. But to keep it relatively brief, I would say the professional development role and the opportunity to organize on a larger scale is the only reason that I considered leaving the classroom.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:12:30] I know you, you touched on this already, but I'll go ahead and ask it and I'll ask both of you and I'll toss it to Tavae first. In what ways does your culture and your identity inform the work or vice versa?   Tavae Samuelu: [00:12:46] I think that it always has. There was a point at which I thought I needed to come to EPIC and sometimes that's still true. That I needed to come to EPIC in order to give primacy to my Pacific Islander identity, I had spoken earlier about most of my professional career and even like, as a student organizing was done in multicultural spaces that were, you know, in, in this sort of umbrella way identified as black and brown. But they weren't spaces where I was PI, I was like, you know, most often a woman of color, more broadly, a person of color, but there was never really an understanding of Pacific Islander. Whether people knew it or not, everything I was doing was in a very Pacific Islander way. From the way I speak to things that people would have identified as very humble. I was like, oh, that's just how PIs do it, right? That there's a protocol to things. The deference to elders, the, I love my best friends says, all I do is quote people [laughs]. But there's this part to me where it's like, everybody quotes people I just cite my sources. But there's a part to it too where even citing your sources is very Pacific Islander in that you are naming the genealogy of something, of a thought, of a practice, of a story, right? That you are always going back to the roots of where you came from and that conclusion. And also like a lot of ways where things that I was recognized for was in storytelling. It's like, oh, that's a really good. And folks not realizing like, oh, that's, that comes from me being Pacific Islander. Like that comes from me being Samoan. Not in spite of, but because of it. And so now there's a lot of ways where the work is defining Pacific Islander. And this other really interesting piece that EPIC does leadership development. That means we work with a lot of young people and the vast majority of our young people are second, third, fourth generation, right? Fairly removed from their indigeneity. And because of that, growing up in diaspora, in particular, growing up in the U. S., that there's always this thirst for Pacific Islander culture, and that's what they come to us for but also this notion and kind of this living conversation about what is PI, right? And that we ask them, and then many of them not feeling Pacific Islander enough, like that being the through line. But when you ask, like, what is Pacific Islander, is advocacy Pacific Islander, is education Pacific Islander? And oftentimes hearing from them, really troubling narratives that they've internalized about what PI is, and then having to untether and tease out, like, where did you get that from? Where did that story come from? Did it come from PIs? Very often, not, right? That, that what it means to have to constantly interrogate the ways that white supremacy controls how you understand yourself, controls your story, right? And so, you know, what does it mean that to our young people, that being PI means automatically and inherently means being part of the military, because that's what it means to be a warrior culture. Or that being PI is playing football or that being like that many of the narratives that they had taken to be factual were also grounded in the consumption of their bodies and wanting to trouble that notion. Right? And then also empower them to participate in the creation of a new narrative. So we sort of sit at this place where our work is to both remember culture, spread that remembering, and also watch it evolve and empower our young people to participate in that evolution and feel ownership of it.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:17:05] I'm just gonna have a real moment right now on this episode and just say I wish I had a rewind button right now just to run that back because I'm trying to process some of the knowledge you just dropped and thinking about the ways that our culture and identity inform the ways we show up in spaces, specifically the ways that our perception is grounded through the lens of white supremacy culture and the consumption of our bodies is the way that you framed it, but how do we transform those narratives to be grounded in our own indigenous authentic cultural lens. So just Tavae, thank you for jumping in there. I was thinking about this question in what ways does my culture and identity inform my work? And I'm going to keep it real with you that I'm still exploring that right now. I recognize that the knowledge of self, the knowledge of Filipino history is something that I am becoming more familiar with and drawing more connections with in my adult life. Of course, being Filipino, having the cultural roots be present in my life, but also being a first generation person in a predominantly white suburban area, assimilation is something that is very much the reality for first generation folks. It wasn't until college, it was an educator, a professor Osei, on the literature of African peoples that started to help spark that critical race consciousness and sent me down a journey to become more race conscious and explore that. So to respond in short, the cultural identity, I'm still exploring that now, but I will say this. that the more that I learn, the more connections that I'm starting to realize. Being that I'm now heavily involved in the union spaces, and that's been a big part of my journey recently, I've come to learn about the farm workers and the Filipino organizers across Hawaii and the West Coast that have been pivotal in American history, labor organizing that I wasn't aware of. It was actually a moment of pride as I learned about that through APALA so APALA was one of the places where I was educated about this history and I'm realizing a lot of the connections that I'm making in my people, cultural roots.There's something there that I'm still unpacking right now, still exploring right now, and that's part of this Continental Shifts podcast. It's a real time exploration of how our culture and identity inform the ways we show up now. So that's, that's how I think about it in this moment.   Tavae Samuelu: [00:19:56] I love that and I think even as you were saying that what comes up for me is a lot of stuff too. That's also what's unique about EPIC is because I know our young people everywhere else they go will tell them that culture is a deficit. Right. It's the thing that you need to put away in order to succeed. And that we're also really clear of like, well, we are asking them to define success. It's not about aspiring to whiteness. Right. That I'm not trying to replace American exceptionalism with PI exceptionalism. And this other piece around culture is like, culture is not a costume. But it's most definitely a uniform for me, right? Like that when I go to the Capitol, if I'm lobbying in Sacramento, if I'm in D. C., I'm wearing my mom's fulakasi so that everybody can see, right? So to bring her with me as like a physical reminder. But also so my people see me there, right? Like a pulakasi, you wear it for ceremony. You also wear it to do faius or work when you're in service, right? So if I'm wearing a pulakasi, you know that I'm there for teltua. You know that I'm there to be in service, and that signaling to our young people, and then like the ceremony part of it, right? There's a sacredness to it. So if I'm in it, you also know, like, that you know what I'm there for. You know I'm about that business if we're, if we're in it. And you know, it tells other people, like, yo, this is how much we belong in the capital that I didn't put on, you know, I didn't put on some pantsuit or a blazer or whatever the case so that white people will recognize me. I put on a fulakasi so you all could see me. Right? And I think, and I've talked to this to a couple of folks about it, right? Like when Toni Morrison talks about Invisible Man and asked this question of like invisible to who? Like, what do I care if whiteness sees me? Like, the first time white people saw us, they decided, like, we were savage and they needed to take our land from us. It's actually not safe for white people to see me. Like, I just need our folks to see each other, right? And this other piece too, around narratives and story and culture, right? Like, that's the importance of APALA, of EPIC, of, of Ethnic Studies, is like, it'll give you the stories white supremacy never wanted you to know about yourself, right? That, like, white supremacy will tell people about the Aloha spirit, and that, like, Kanaka are just so grateful for tourism to have you on their land. It's like, yo, my favorite stories about Native Hawaiians are when they killed Captain Cook, cause that just like stepped out of line and tried to take too much right.   Like, those are my favorite stories. And so, you know, they'll tell you about us being warriors to recruit our young people for empire, like, yo, if you're gonna talk about words, talk about the Polynesian Panthers who stood toe to toe, inspired by the Black Panther Party to surveil the cops who were harassing, deporting and doing all of this up to our community. Or like tell the stories about our healers, right? Big Pharma will copyright things that we've been using to treat and heal our people for years so that it's not accessible on our lands. Like those are the stories where I'm just like, yo, I need all of our folks to know more of this. And I think even to that note Estella and I got to, after that APALA workshop got to reconnect through LE GaFa. And LE GaFa is also really important, like all of these language revitalization programs that are coming up, because even in a Fa'a Samoa or like a Samoan context, the three pillars of identity are land, family, and language, right? And so many of our young people come to us, you know, if you're in diaspora, that means you, you're divorced from your land. Many have lost language and then family is complicated. Family is real complicated [laughs]. And so how did we also become that space of redefining Samoa?   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:23:36] Oh, sis. So much has been said, but when you were speaking earlier, I thought back to how I felt when I first met you. And for the first time I was seen by my sister. You know what I mean? Like, I have never been in space with other Samoan women and felt at home until then. And then in thinking about LE GaFa and why I chose to take the class at 30, trying to learn a language is hard at 30, trying to learn Samoan at 30 oof! It is one of the biggest challenges I've ever accepted in my life. But every time we are in class, things just feel like they were already in my bones. And I didn't have a name for it or I didn't know what it was. So folks are always telling me, Stella, you're a storyteller. And you know, obviously I'm a theater major. Ended up in storytelling. And it's definitely a part of my practice as an educator. But like, now I know, well, that was in my bones, that is my lineage, that's my heritage, that's my ancestry. From both sides, you know, you know what I mean? I'm Nigerian and Samoan, I get it strong from both sides of who I am. I just love holding on to that thought that all of these things that someone tried to rip away from me, tell me was not okay, they couldn't because it is deeply innate. It is literally in… in me and it cannot be taken. And so my journey throughout my life to it was just that. It was something that was misplaced and I just had to find it again and I'm happy that I am there and to what Gabriel said earlier, that was definitely a reason why we chose to start this podcast because I can see it on my social media feeds, that there is a thirst, especially among young Samoans, to find out more about what's going on, I now have so many, oh, Samoan daily words and Samoan proverb, you know what I mean? Like so many folks I'm following and people are also trying to learn the language, I'm meeting and making connection with random Samoan artists on Instagram who now are in the LE GaFa class. And like everyone is now connected through social media. Because all of us, like you said, we are living in diaspora and those three parts of ourselves, we are now having to find. They're misplaced and we're in search of them and are lucky and blessed to be able to find each other so that we can rediscover those pieces of ourselves.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:26:09] Tavae, when you were talking about the different stories that aren't told that should be told, you got me thinking about Lapu Lapu in the Philippine Islands, the chieftain that defeated, Magellan and stemmed off the first wave of colonizers coming through to the Philippines. I didn't learn about that in my, in my fourth grade class when I had to do a history research project. I learned about Magellan discovering the Philippine islands and that's not the story. Tell me the story about Gabriela Silang and all of the Filipino revolutionaries. So I was feeling what you were saying earlier. And also, with the deficit narratives that are placed on us, Dr. Tara Yasso, who introduced the Community Cultural Wealth Framework, the idea to challenge the dominant culture's narrative, the deficit thinking around us, and recognize the value-based, asset-based, capital-based thinking of cultural wealth that we're bringing to spaces, that's real.   Swati Rayasam: [00:27:07] You are tuned in to APEX Express on 94.1 KPFA, 89.3 KPFB in Berkeley, 88.1 KFCF in Fresno and online at kpfa.org.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:27:22] Tavae, I do have a question about your organizing work with EPIC. That's a dope name, by the way just got to shout that out. But what success have you and EPIC had in organizing across PI communities?   Tavae Samuelu: [00:27:37] Credit for the name goes to Ono Waifale. You know, so EPIC started in 2009 by a group of young Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander leaders, mostly in higher ed, Ono, and a lot of it's sort of like the seeds of it planted, in the Pacific Islander leadership pipeline. So there's like a lot of hands that went into building it. Ono Waifale was one of the young people who went through that. And so the name EPIC comes from him. You know, something about the word success gives me trepidation. Like I have a thing about it, and maybe this is also me having a hard time just discerning between, humility and insecurity of like when you call something a success that people come and like want to hold you accountable to that. There are things that I feel good about, things that I feel proud about and. You know, it's my own recovering perfectionism that has me hesitant about it. That has me like, Oh, if I call that a success, there are so many things that I would have nitpicked about it, that I would done differently. You know, I'm always going to say the young people are my favorite part of this work of EPIC as an organization. On like that Huey P Newton, like, the revolution is always in the hands of young people. There's also a way that they are the best compass and litmus test, right? In that audacity that young people have of it could be better. And I'm just like, Oh, that's dope. Like, cause I think there's also a lot of ways where you know, I'm always an aspiring radical elder and trying to figure out how I can be that radical elder right now. But recognizing, a lot of the markers for adulthood and maturity are about sometimes, like, how much closer you get it to status quo, to like being more served by existing systems. And so there's a way in which I'm going to age out of this role. And I'm always looking for the young person who's going to take it on and keep up that mantle of demanding more, right. Of keeping us accountable to that. And so I think it's always the young people who are like over inspiring and also so brilliant and have so much heart around this and are such a good reminder because there's also ways in which they're closer to the problem because of their youth, right? And so because they're closer to the problem, they have more solutions and they're also a better way of vetting the viability of something that I might think is so great, but I'm doing all this grass top of what do I know if I'm spending all my time talking to funders and elected officials?   Like, I need the young people who tell me stories about I couldn't do homework because I had to do files for my mom and my grandma. And then I also had to take care of my little siblings and like, that's the kind of where I'm like, Oh, that's actually what should be dictating our policy agenda, right? Of like, how young people are thriving in this world, right? Because they're always going to be the marker of a healthy society, right? And that because they are part of that most vulnerable group, because they inherit so much . And then also the ways that we're developing young people into adult allies. Like, how are these young people also then looking at themselves of like, oh, let me be that, like, that OG that all the younger folks can come to as well. Like that they're preparing themselves also to take up the mantle and they feel good about it. Like that they feel ready and maybe if not ready, that they feel supported like, when they take that on, all the adults aren't going to disappear. And then there's also like a relativity to it, right? Like, in many spaces, I'm the youngest ED, or I'm the youngest “leader” whatever that means. And so there's me kind of also feeling young in that way, but then sometimes I'm like, oh, I'm the adult in the room [laughs]. Lamenting that ugh I gotta be the grownup. So I think that piece too is a weird in between that, that I'm in, but like I I think those are the parts of EPIC that feel good. And I think this speaks to the API aspect of this episode and where we're going to be diving deeper in. It's always a success to me when I've got more accomplices and allies for the Pacific Islander community. Right. When I have more people beyond PI's that are asking about us, that are fighting for us. Right. And that's a solidarity and then, you know, this is also an inspiration and something I like feel good about the direction that we're moving in is being really explicit about our organization being pro black and pro Indigenous and anti racist. Not because it's trending, because Imma be in this, [laughs] like even after it stops trending, but because it also signals to folks that we're a safe place to land. That if we say it out loud, you can hold us accountable to it, but you also know that you can come here and talk about and go there with us.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:32:48] What you said about young people, I think, is my favorite part about being a classroom teacher. It is, I think, exactly for that reason. And I can sit and sit and lesson plan, lesson plan, lesson plan, get to class, and kids are like, nah. Now you, that's corny. You thought it was, you thought it was great, but Miss, let me tell you, but then I love that they feel absolutely comfortable telling me that it's not as dope as I thought it was [laughs]. And then we, you know, I just let them take over the lesson at that point. What are the critical issues that you foresee us needing to mobilize around? Maybe it's right now or in the immediate future.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:33:28] Yeah, I guess what's present for me based on this conversation has me thinking about education, thinking about the stories and the narratives that are out there, and thinking about decolonizing curriculum as a primary frontline issue, but I actually need to shout out Kai, who was one of our guests, that decolonizing curriculum, if we flip that framing to indigenizing curriculum, is perhaps a better approach in terms of how we are more historically and culturally responsive in our approach. Why is that important? I think it's important to mobilize because I'm starting to recognize that the narratives that are being shared throughout public education in this country really do have a major impact on perpetuating white supremacy culture and continuing the violence that we're seeing. So, the obvious physical violence, but the forms of emotional violence and trauma that are just part of the mythology of the ways this nation state perpetuates white supremacy, patriarchal culture, capitalist system at large. So, I feel like part of my educator roots always calls me to that. But I think because Tavae and Estella, you're making sure we're grounded in understanding the youth perspectives that's present on my right now as a critical issue. And that's also going to be now and forever, perhaps, right? Oh wait, no, actually, Tavae, I'm gonna take some learning from what you shared at the beginning. The empire, when it falls, right? We're preparing for when it falls. So I'll just, I'll leave it there.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:35:17] I think right now, like, educators across the nation, an immediate charge is to pass ethnic, like, ethnic studies has to be it everywhere, across the board, preschool to 14, like, mandatory, we've got to make sure that ethnic studies, um, so whatever state association across all of our unions. When ethnic studies ends up on your legislative body on the floor, yes on ethnic studies and push it and make sure that, it is what it's supposed to be and not some watered down, BS where you've taken out words like anti blackness and white supremacy. Let's make sure that. Every child has access to that, and it is what it's supposed to be because, like you said, I'm not trying to hear about Magellan discovering some he didn't discover in the first place. I'm trying to learn my whole truth, and it'd be great if I could get it, you know, starting at preschool instead of having to go, like Tavae put it earlier, I had to get that elite language in order to name the stuff. Like, I shouldn't have to go all the way to Graduate school, undergrad to figure out who the hell I am and then do something with that. So ethnic studies, I think, is the thing that needs to happen like right now.   Tavae Samuelu: [00:36:43] Well, I guess I'm also thinking about this ethnic studies piece too, because I fully support it and I know there's like a save PI studies coalition full of brilliant, like PI educators, also like very much Manawahine which folks should definitely follow. I think there's this piece too, where if you're going to mandate ethnic studies, I also need a pipeline for teachers of color and not just a pipeline, but Right, to support and retain teachers of color. Because there's this concern that I have too of what does it mean that most teachers are white? Like that's the other part, right? I was like, oh, white people are, I've never met a white person who teaches ethnic studies well. Never. I don't even know if it's possible, but you'd have to break yourself to do that, right? And also to think back of, like, the origins of ethnic studies in the 1969, the Third World Liberation Front. What it was created to respond to, the fact that it was also meant to be a college, not a department of, what does it mean to do ethnic studies in biology, right? Like, what does it mean to do ethnic studies as a lens through which we observe everything, right? Because if you have ethnic studies, you actually don't need US history anymore. Like, if you have ethnic studies, you don't need European history anymore, because ethnic studies is all of that, right? It's all of that. It also, you know, I agree, Ethnic studies it taught me a set of values and a way to look at the world and not just stories, right? It made me question all the things of like, what is essentially like the propaganda that our young people receive in formal education spaces [laughs]. And so I say this too, of like, yes, absolutely, all of that, it should be accessible, it should be invested in, it should be from us, there should be a naming of the fact that the US and education systems are, traditional education systems are invested in and fans of revisionist white supremacist history and that there's simultaneous campaigns that need to happen. And I defer to you all in your expertise and brilliance as educators. Right.   Every issue is a critical issue right now. Everything. You know, especially like COVID-19 and Pacific Islanders, I think in the context of this episode, in this podcast, this conversation, I'm at an impasse with Asian Pacific Islander or API, the terminology as an aggregate has been around since, you know, 1970s ish, and for me, because it's been around that long, it means that, API spaces and organizations have had since the 1970s to figure it out. So we're in 2021 right now and I'm having conversations with folks about what about PI and like there's a request for patience that just frankly is not fair. There's also just, like, this dynamic that doesn't get investigated. So when I talk about being at an impasse, it's that PIs already don't do API, that data disaggregation is actually just a request for data to catch up to the ways we already organize ourselves as communities API is a false promise and a site of erasure for many communities, not just Pacific Islanders, right? That Southeast Asian, South Asians, Filipinos as well get erased in these things, right? That even under API, we were still actually just being held responsible for a majority East Asian representation. And that it doesn't investigate the inequitable dynamic that exists between and AA and PI so this impasse is that the work that we do in advocacy is in recognition of the fact that power and resources are still distributed and disseminated through API. So we have a critical conversation to have as a community because PIs are already not using PI, and it's actually Asian Americans that use API and that it doesn't feel very good, these accountability conversations of calling folks in of like, how can we be good relatives? How can we talk about, because there's also like, you know, Asian American spaces aren't talking about colonization, like the PI as a colonized people, all the forms of racism that we experience being facilitated through that means, and, you know, if we're real, that some of our PI nations are colonized by Asian Americans, like not American, but like Asian nations, right? That there's like some healing that needs to happen. And so this, I don't know that it's a critical issue so much as like a critical conversation that needs to occur in our communities that is inclusive of PIs. Cause I also know I come across folks who are like, I say API cause I was taught that that was inclusive. And I was like, I bet you a PI didn't tell you that. So, yeah, you know, I think about that in the context of this episode, but there's this other piece too of like, You know, my family and I had COVID back in August, and so that was its own, I don't know that I say wake up call, because I, like, what's the humble way to say, like, I've been awake? It was asking this question of, like, what facilitated our survival, right? And a lot of actually what came to me was around labor. Was around union organizing and those wins of like we survived because I got a livable wage. I have paid sick leave I have like health insurance I have all of these things that I'm really clear were won by unions were made possible by labor and they're treated as privileges right or even like speaking English Like, all of these things that I was just like sitting with, like, oh, those are actually now shaping our demands of how we are going to move our advocacy work, or, you know, that we're housed, all of these things where I was like, oh, these are actually, there's not one critical issue, because the insidious nature of racism and poverty is that it could manifest itself in so many ways in our community that lead to premature death, and in that, like, Ruthie Wilson Gilmore way where she defines racism as the set of systems that lead to premature death. So that being like, oh, those are all the critical issues for me.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:43:12] We need to, we, we're going to have to like come up with a syllabus for this episode, like to drop this [laughs] episode next week that has everyone cited all the articles and all the things listed so that we can like, yeah, I'm disseminating a syllabus with this episode. And I think that you were, you were right in that. First of all the disaggregation of data is something that is a theme that has come up on nearly every episode too in this podcast. It was another reason why, when Gabriel and I met, that was one of the first conversations we had because I have been very vocal in our caucus that there is some healing and reconciliation needs to happen. There is a reckoning that needs to happen. We need to deal with the anti blackness and et cetera, et cetera. In our caucus, right? And the fact that this caucus is meant to represent too many dang people and you try to squeeze us all together and make, like, all of our issues one issue, and it just does not work like that for all of the reasons that you said, but it doesn't mean you said, how can we be good relatives? It doesn't mean that moving forward, we can't be good relatives and figure this out. I think you're right. We've got to stop and have the conversation, before we can really move forward. And it's probably gonna be a long conversation. It's going to be a long conversation and one that happens continuously and in various spaces, but it definitely needs to happen moving forward aside from what you've already shared with us, what do you think it will take to increase the visibility of our communities and mobilize PI people around some of the critical issues that you've already talked about.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:45:08] So Estella, your question has me thinking, and the energy from this episode in particular has me fired up, if I'm keeping it real, that if we're talking about visibility for our communities, obviously organizing is at the core of that, making sure that we lift up and create spaces for our people to come together and discover that collective wisdom within our own respective communities. But the fire that you all lit right now has me thinking that just being unapologetically and fearlessly courageous in the face of white supremacy culture within our own spaces, whether that's in the organizations, institutions, businesses, all of the places that we exist. I'm recognizing actually in this moment that one of the things that Tavae said earlier about not being seen by white supremacy institutions is actually safer, which is also very true in the way that things manifest. But what I'm feeling right now is increasing visibility. We're in a moment where, we're in this moment where our ancestors have prepared us to do battle in the ways that we are in our generation to try to disrupt the colonizers in our own respective ways. So those are my thoughts.   Tavae Samuelu: [00:46:34] Well, you know, I think the part of your question that I'm grappling with is this visibility piece, right? Because there are a lot of ways where I feel like our community is actually hyper visible, right? Like we've got The Rock, we've got Jason Momoa, we've got like all of these like really visible figures in our community who are also like very loud about our culture. And so there's this piece where I sit with is it that we need to be visible or is it like in this, man, I don't want to cite Chimamanda Adichie because she's like super TERFsy uh, and she had this Ted talk about like the danger of a single story and that actually, what, what troubles our visibility is the community is the singularity of our story here in the US, how there's like one thing that people get to know about. And I think, and maybe it's better to think about Stuart Hall and how he talks about there's no such thing as good or bad representation, because good and bad is constantly changing, right? Even the word bad in some contexts means good. In that sense, that actually what you're looking for as a community is a multitude of representation so that nothing becomes the single story of your visibility. Of how you're seen and understood, right? That that's also like, what white supremacy gets that white people get to be poor and wealthy. They get to be teachers and doctors and criminals, right? And even when they're criminal, we make it Godfather and like, glorify that criminality and so I think that's the part of our community is of wanting that to of, like, how do we get to see ourselves everywhere so that there isn't a limitation around how we mobilize. I also think, and I think this is always the conversation around representation of, like, how do I feel represented? Like you know, I never felt, Tulsi Gabbard is a Samoan woman, and I never felt represented by her like, that's not my people. And so, even that representation piece of, and I've stated this before, of like, yo, if it's not pro Black and pro Indigenous and anti racist, it doesn't represent me. Like, those are not my people.   Like, I'm not throwing down with people who aren't trying to get free. And so if I'm thinking about representation to invisibility, like I want our folks to be exposed and see as many examples of freedom as possible. That the other thing about young people and like language and all this stuff is young people already, really anyone like has a sense of what is not fair or doesn't feel right. That our young people actually, and many of us as marginalized communities, are experts in oppression. Like, you don't need to teach us what up looks like, because we've experienced it our whole lives. And so what does it mean to develop and invest in and build a whole pipeline and lineage of folks who are experts in liberation, who have so deeply exercised that muscle that they don't know anything else, that they only know how to be free. Like, I think that's the part where I'm thinking about, like, that's the kind of visibility I want to see. That's the kind of that I hope that our young people, that I, like, not just our young people, that I also need. And that I also am seeking so much, especially during this pandemic and always as somebody who struggles with anxiety and depression is, you know, on that Miriam Kaba, like hope is a discipline. I am internalizing more and more what that means. You to have to exercise hope as a discipline, as a muscle that needs to grow. I mean, I'll share this with you all, like, thank you Stella for saying happy birthday. It is, just probably one of the most difficult birthdays I've ever had. It is hard to age during a pandemic. In particular, like, because it's so macabre right now. But also because I've been wading through a lot of survivor's guilt. For the last couple of months, I'm just kind of like wondering why other people didn't make it and I did and so I have like a systemic analysis of all the privileges that kept me alive, but I'm still sitting here feeling guilty about making it or about surviving COVID thus far. And then sitting on a birthday, then having, like, every wish just felt really warm, but also sharp. And having to, like, say thank you to every single one to, like, exercise a muscle of gratitude. Like, try to replace some of that guilt with gratitude. But all that to say that I think this is also the direction that EPIC is going in, that like, when I think about these critical issues that it's like translating this thought experiment into tangible action around stuff. I'm sorry, I turned it off, I just completely lost you all.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:51:53] No, I'm, I am with you, I was, y'all, like, I'm. dizzy from just shaking my head. Yes, I legit got lightheaded a second ago. Like, I was just shaking my head. What you just said, I was just like, isn't that the dream? Like, isn't that what we were supposed to be fighting for all those years ago and still today? A whole generation of people who don't know what it is to experience oppression. Like, that's the dream. Like, that's the dream. That, that is what we want and so what you were saying about visibility, you know, I'm, I constantly am struggling, like, with, I think, yeah, The Rock is there, but like, he's a wrestler, he's a movie star, you know what I mean? Like, it's always that same story. And while I appreciate him, I do, because being Black and being someone I always felt like a damn unicorn and The Rock was the only one who was there, who existed other than me and my brothers. And so I do appreciate him and the other celebrities or stars that we have to look to. But like you said, I want where we get to be. Any and everything and all of those things all at the same time.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:53:19] I'm not sure if this makes it to the episode, but I have to express my gratitude for you just coming through and blazing this whole conversation. And really, I feel like there's just so much that I can't wait to. process and think through. I feel like the impact in this conversation alone is just gonna reverberate not only in my experience, but also our listeners that are tuning in. So Tavae, thank you so much.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:53:47] Recovering perfectionist, that phrase. I'm walking away with it. Actually, it just posted something on like characteristics of white supremacy and the ways in which I was thinking about the ways in which as a theater educator, I have been guilty of perpetuating characteristics of white supremacy because it's so much a part of the way theater folk we do things. And so I was thinking like, but no wait, theater folk and artists, we also have the skills to dismantle white supremacy. It's also in the way that we do things so we do know better and when we know better we should do better so that recovering perfectionist is like in me and it also speaks to something that Gabriel has shared earlier about, you know, assimilation and being a first gen and that very typical immigrant story or child of immigrants like you're going to go to school get straight A's and essay like that show. And then your only options are doctor and lawyer. And don't come talk to me about anything else. So, you know, that that's definitely always been a part of. Me too, is it being in the diaspora and first gen American born, and always feeling like whatever I've done is not good enough. And, but then I'm like, but in whose eyes, whose eyes is it not good enough? And if it's in mine, then I need to sit with that and work past that. So recovering perfectionist, that's where I'm at.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:55:14] My favorite line from today was aspiring radical elder. I'm holding on to that one. I was feeling that.   Estella Owoimaha-Church: [00:55:22] I wrote that one down too. Fa'a fatai te le lava. Thank you for listening.   Gabriel Tanglao: [00:55:28] Salamat.

I want to make it really clear to everybody that it is not your job to point out other persons silver lining. So many people were like, well, you know, you have so much going for you like they were trying to put silver linings around. One of my friends said, Kim, you know, don't worry, you're young, you're beautiful, you can get married again. And I was like, Oh, well, then I don't need to be so sad. Because you can replace my husband.Lesley Logan 0:05  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.All right, Be It babe. So today's guest on the topic is going to be something that makes you pretty uncomfortable. And I'm hoping to make some of these topics more comfortable. Because we kind of get over it, y'all, we got to start talking about grief, we got to start understanding how to help each other. And today's guest not only shares her story about how she lost her husband, but also what she's doing today to make workplaces a better place when it comes to grief. And, and I, I truly hope that you take some time to listen to this. I know you might be thinking, oh my gosh, Lesley, it's Tuesday. And I want like, all the happiness in the world. But today's guest is actually you know, what she's doing is she wrote a book called 100 Acts of Love. So it's actually quite a positive talk around a subject that we all want to avoid. And she's actually going to tell you the exact things not to say. So I promise you, you're gonna want to stick around because I know all of us don't want to say the wrong thing. We only want to do the things that can be helpful, and you're gonna get a lot of helpful tips. And also, you know, someday we're all going to be in a place where we are in grief. There's different kinds of grief, of course, but we're humans, we're going to lose each other in our lives. And so being able to hear other people's stories, I think is really important to understanding how, how every, how you're feeling is normal. And I know when you listen to this, that it's easy to put a lot of pressure on yourself to like, get it together and and be okay. And what I hope you hear from this is that it's okay not to be okay. So Kim Hamer is our guest today. She's beautiful, inside and out. And this is one of my most favorite interviews to do. So thank you, Kim, and thank you for being here to listen to this. And I can't wait to hear what your takeaways are.All right, Be It babe. I'm so excited to have you back with us today listening in because our guest today honestly, like, I'm so glad this woman came across my like my feed and thing of people I should interview because I definitely the topic we're talking about today. I definitely feel like I've been the person who fucked up and didn't do the thing and didn't say the thing and didn't help out. And everyone's like what and Kim's laughing. So Kim Hamer is our guest today. And she is an incredible person who is helping people actually do 100 Acts of Love and actually give steps and it's because she went through something traumatic and people weren't able to help out and then she saw herself in that so I'ma let her tell her own story. So Kim will you tell everyone who you are, and what brought you here today?Kim Hamer 2:50  Sure. So what brought me here today is my husband's death at the age of 44. He was six foot six tall about 230. So you know, good size man, not a skinny six foot six. And very healthy. We were like the typical LA couple, you know, like working out together and trying to make our way in the world with our three kids, making sure that they're good students, eating organic food, you know, exercising. And, and that didn't help. He was diagnosed with cancer. It was very surprising for both of us, I can't imagine someone says when they get diagnosed with cancer, Oh, yeah, I thought that was gonna happen. It's always surprising.Lesley Logan 3:36  But also, like, when someone is 60 Plus, you're like, Well, you know, It's a numbers game, right? Like, that sounds terrible. But like, 40, you don't go back to be diagnosed with something like that.Kim Hamer 3:49  This is very true. And it was really surprising to us. And what I learned in that first part of the journey, you know, that day that we found out it was literally like a mother's, you know, Hallmark movies that, you know, my husband had been having trouble breathing. And for some reason, when he said, I'm gonna call the doctor, I said to him, I want to come with you. And he right on the heels of that. He said, I want you to come with me like we knew something wasn't right. And I don't want to go into details of what the symptoms were because nobody needs, no one needs to be going oh my god, I can't breathe. I might have cancer. (...) Exactly. But we were sitting in the doctor's office and we had had he already had had an x ray and an exam and the doctor came in and we're sitting at the exam table on one side of the exam table. The doctor came in and wove his hands together and put them on the exam table and said to my husband, I think you have cancer. And the only reason he couldn't confirm it is because it was inside and we needed to do you need to confirm it with tests. So we kind of fell into this was very serious early on. It was stage four and had we not taken like immediate action that next week. He probably would not have lasted for the end of the month. It was really very, very well, we didn't know. So we didn't know it was that serious because the first doctor we were with was very kind of lackadaisical kind of like, well, we'll get this test started. And so anyway, what happened was, I needed a lot of help. I had three, we have three young kids at this time, I was trying to make a living as trying to help my house where he was working, and I was making living as a freelance writer. And I knew right off the bat that I was in way over my head, like I was absolutely positive. But I didn't know how people can help other than bring a meal, which is the one thing that everyone does. And that actually, sometimes I was like, no more like, Stop bringing us any more food. So through that process, what I realized was that some people knew exactly how to be helpful, and most people didn't know. And for those who didn't know, it was always this awkward place of like, well, what do you need, and I'm like, I don't know, I can't think of anything until 2am when Art's vomiting, and I realize I'm running out of paper towel, right, or, until the morning when I go to pour cereal, I gotta pour milk into the cereal from the bowl for the kids, and there's no milk. So there was a sense of like, there's just this big disconnect. I was on one side of this cliff, and everyone else is on the other side of the cliff, and everybody wanted to help but there was just we needed a bridge. So it, it was, it was my husband's job and we went into this, went into these roles without even discussing it. His job was to beat the cancer, he put blinders on, he focused on nothing but that, and it was serious enough that he couldn't work. So he did not have anything else to think about, but making it through every single day. And then my job became everything else. And the thing about our relationship is we definitely co parented so all of a sudden, I was parenting by myself, he would come you know, he would come out of chemo for a couple days, and then they'd slam with chemo again, and he disappear. And then he come out of chemo for a couple of days, and they slam with chemo again. So it was it was a very harrowing experience. And then we got the all clear. So which is a fantastic thing, you know, you get the all clear. And I thought, which is I think what everyone else thinks is you're gonna have a party and celebrate and you look at life brand new, and you're gonna go do all those things you've been scared to do before. That is not what happened. What happened was we spent, Can I swear? ...(Lesley: you can.) Okay, we spent months looking, we would get into bed and look at each other and go, What the fuck just happened? Like, like, literally like, and then we spent months wondering if we want to remain married. Because something like that really, it brings out the best in your marriage, and it brings out the worst in your marriage. So did we want to remain together? What was that about? I was pissed. Because my husband was...Lesley Logan 7:58  I could just imagine like, I've just spent all this time making sure you could just focus on living. And now you're thinking and I'm now I'm rethinking.Kim Hamer 8:07  No, I'm rethinking, Should I've made that effort?Lesley Logan 8:11  Oh my God. That's so much emotions.Kim Hamer 8:14  Yes. It's a lot of emotions. You know, I was pissed. I took on the role of taking on all this stuff. But I also took on the role of being a martyr. So there was part of that play in there. I was pissed because he never thanked me. I mean, just crazy stuff, crazy, crazy stuff. We go through our lives, we decide that we do like each other. And we do want to remain married, we go into couples therapy, which is very, very helpful. On top of all this, there's still side effects from the chemo that we're dealing with eight months later. So I think that's another thing that people don't understand is the chemo doesn't just kind of disappear out of your system. So we remain married, we're going to make a go of it. Were kind of like getting our feet back into life and going out and helping the kids do all these other things. My husband does his first triathlon. I've been doing them for years, it was sort of my domain, but I was like, go for it. It was his first triathlon, we go away for Thanksgiving, and he starts to have symptoms again, but he's not really focusing on the fact that there are symptoms. He's just saying he doesn't feel well. And then and then at the end of December was clear, you know, you look back at photos, you can see that he lost a lot of weight, but when you're with them day to day, you just don't notice. And then he, you know, we caught it, cancer came back less than two years later, it was stage four again. And then four months after that he died. So it was just sort of this whirlwind again. Of, Okay, we're gonna jump into the roles like I knew I was familiar with this role. He was familiar with this role. After he died, of course, you know, he was 44. So very young, and our kids were 12, 9 and 7, they were also young. And there was the sort of, I again, I saw how so many people knew what to do. And so many people didn't know what to do. How friends who we thought would step in, stepped back, and how other people who we didn't really even know that well became our friends. So I became in and stepped in and became my friend, became my husband's friend. And it was about that point that I started to get really resentful of people. I'm going to tell you all this is the honest truth.Lesley Logan 10:24  That's what we want because I think that like, like I said, at the beginning of this, y'all like, I was reading what you wrote. And I was like, oh, yeah, like, I know, like, when a friend has that kid, I'm like, Oh, I don't have a kid. So like, should like, what do you need? Do you need toilet paper? Like, but but they need more clothes? Do you need diapers? What? Yeah, exactly. Like, Hey, how's it going? Exactly. Exactly. I feel like, I feel like it's I love that you're sharing all of this, because I think I think one, then when someone in our lives is going through it, we can kind of like glean from this whole moment and learn from it. Also, like, we may be in your same shoes someday. And, gosh, we don't want to feel like we're alone. And like we're the crazy person who's like, yeah, you know, like I'm over the food.Kim Hamer 11:08  Exactly. I will tell you this, my kids went on a lasagna strike after my husband died because people kept bringing us lasagna. And you know, there's 100 million ways to make lasagna. So we were getting, so the kids would love one lasagna who I can never remember who bought it for us, you know, who brought it over. And then we have that one, then they have another one. And they were like this one sucks. A month into it, my oldest was like Mom, no more lasagna. We don't want any more lasagna. So I had to tell our friends like no more lasagna, y'all because we were lasagnaed out. So back to the resentment, you know, I just began to feel really angry. I was like, you know, my husband died. And you can't find the courage to come up and talk to me like what the hell's wrong with you? And then as the years go on, I start to have a lot of empathy, sympathy first, and then empathy. And what I realize is, I'm really mad, which is often the case, we get really mad because they're doing something that we have done in the past, or that we would do. And what I realized is I didn't know what to say, I would not have known how to help me if I had been my friend,. I wouldn't know what to say, I would have been the person who said, If you need anything, let me know. And we'll talk about why that's the least helpful thing later. So I wanted to, there's a lot of books out there, if you have cancer, a ton, you know, and it's never enough information, there can always be more, but if one in three of us is going to get a cancer, the other two need to know what to do. And that's why I wrote my book, so that people could quickly like just open it up in a panic like, Oh my God, what do I do, and they open up and, you know, tip number 48, is stock the bathroom, like, make sure that they have, you mentioned toilet paper, make sure they have toilet paper and toothpaste and soap and clean towels and you put your number on the, on a, tape it to the bathroom cupboard door so that when they run out of those things, they don't have to try to remember between them between that moment and getting to write into a piece of paper or getting to their phone to write it down, whatever. So I really want people to be able to take very simple actions, I think the thing that I realized, I think, the thing that I saw, the things that people did the most that were most helpful, were really simple things, you didn't need to sign up to bring food every single Monday for 365 days. Right? It didn't need that, you know, it was helpful for sure. But my idea of helping before my husband got sick would have been like, I need to take this whole thing on because I'm gonna make a difference. And, and you don't need to do that. A lot of the tips in the book were from simple things that people did, and they did them once. But they were really powerful. So that's sort of my story. And then I go into HR, I go back into HR. So I go back to work after not being, after not being in an office for over 12 years. I stumble a little bit and then I decide I need to go back into HR. And my very first job in HR was working for a president of a company whose wife had cancer and then died.Oh my gosh, like what a divine appointment. I hate, like not wanting to go through that. But like lucky him to have someone in his world who could just look at him and like see him.Yes, exactly. And I ended up helping the CEO, work with him because the CEO didn't have a clue what to do. I ended up helping his team work with them. And then the back of my mind, that's sort of where the idea came. And then last year, I just decided to go ahead and launch a consultancy. And right now my focus is on employee death. How are managers managing a grieving team? And I think I just spoke to someone yesterday who was like, oh, no, our managers are fine. And I'm like, oh, managers are not. They are scared. They are feeling a ton of pressure because they've got these, they've got these goals they have to meet. And then they've got a grieving team. So all of a sudden Tom, Mr. Nice Guy, Tom been around been nice the whole time, all of a sudden really mean in short and bitchy, and you know, but the manager is like, I need you to do this Tom. And now the manager is afraid to talk to Tom. But the managers feeling afraid because grief makes us feel insignificant and small and scared and afraid. So the managers feeling afraid, doesn't want approach Tom, who's now you know, Tom is off the charts crazy. And it's all because of grief. Yeah. And then Tom, all of a sudden decides to leave the company a year later. And no one, no one really puts those two together that the reason Tom's leaving, is because he wasn't given the space and wasn't told how the grief is going to affect his work. He feels disconnected and disenchanted. His boss is kind of being a jerk, the way Tom sees it. And they can't recover. Because no one's had that conversation with them about, hey, you guys are grieving. And this is what's going on. And this is what's happening. And let's, let's let's talk about how we can work around it. So that's, that's my focus now.Lesley Logan 16:05  I mean, what a journey like, gosh, thank goodness for you, and your awareness for this. Because I feel like, you know, there's a lot of people who are out there in the world who are working for themselves. And like, there's some beauty around that, but the most, most people are employee somewhere. And, you know, I would imagine that every owner of a company would like to say, hey, when our employees are going through something, of course, we're there for them. But the problem is, is you're correct. Doesn't matter what happened to the workplace or in life, none of us are really good at grief. None of us are really aware of like, because someone dying makes us think about if that person died in our lives, and when we like, get a little obsessed about that. And then we start to freak out and then we shut down and we're like, can't be, we just can't we don't we also don't want to make a mistake, because we don't want to say the wrong thing. So then we say the wrong thing, which is, let me know if you need anything.Kim Hamer 16:59  Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Lesley Logan 17:02  And we say that because we're like, I don't want to overstep. I don't want to overwhelm I don't, I don't, I don't want to make them cry. I don't want to make them mad. I don't want to like they seem to be doing well. So maybe I shouldn't bring it up.Kim Hamer 17:15  Yes, exactly. Exactly. I just got engaged and really want to share with her, but her husband just died. And I want to talk to her about it. Lesley Logan 17:20  Yeah, and that makes him feel even more alone. Because of course, of course, they want to be happy as well. Maybe they won't be as happy as they want to be. But they also don't want to be left out of your life.Kim Hamer 17:32  Yes, yes, you are exactly right. I think what happens is we make it about us and not about them. And I think there's two specific reasons we do this, one because we feel out of control. We don't know what to do. So when we're in fear, we step back, we just kind of take a step back. The other, the other reason is because when we're, we don't want to touch on it. It hurts, you know, I, I became aware of how difficult the loss of my husband was for my in laws several years later, like, because it was all about my loss at that point. But all of a sudden, I mean, you know, occasionally, during the last, during the first couple of years, I would look at and think, Holy shit, they lost a son. You know, so we're unable, we don't want to put ourselves in those shoes, because it doesn't feel good to think about the fact that yeah, we are all going to die. We're all gonna die. Yeah, you know what, we don't want to talk about it. We don't want to discuss it. We just kind of hope and pray that today is not the day.Lesley Logan 18:28  Yeah, I mean, it's and like, you know, literally today, we had a call with our financial advisor, she's like, Well, how do you guys feel about life insurance policies? And I was like, so I want to make sure that I am taking care of if he, guys, first, because I actually would need to hire a whole new him (...) like, he works with me, I'd have to hire an actual CEO, right? So I need to have money for that, and to be taken care of, because I probably won't be able to get off the carpet for a while. So we need that. And then if I go first, he has to find a new person to take over the company. Like we need to take that like that doesn't even cover grief. That's just like the numbers, right? So like, and even for some people, that's hard enough. So what I mean, you know, obviously like you have your own experience, but like what are some things that you have found like for people co workers and, you know, what are those things that people can recognize are signs of grief because I think we think they're always gonna be crying but also could be Bob's now short tempered, you know, like that's grief.Kim Hamer 19:32  Yes, yes, absolutely. First of all, please get the life insurance and double whatever you're thinking about, we can talk offline. Just double whatever you're thinking about. So I think the first thing is, yes, people tend to be short tempered. I always liken it to given birth and you know, you see the funny the funny outtakes when the woman's in labor and the husband like pats her brow and she just screams at him, right? She loses her mind. Well, that actually does happen. And sometimes in birth, because our bodies, our female bodies are so focused on doing this one thing. So anything that distracts us, pisses us off, because it's distracting us from the process. And so, when that happens, when grief happens to somebody, whether it's a colleague or a friend or a partner, you have these blinders on, because you were just trying to figure out what your next move is your brain is, you have now lost track of the person in your life, you can't find them anymore. Like they're not you, you can't fly to see them. They're not around the corner, or they're not in bed. So you're not showing up for work. So your brain is trying to adjust to this, this different time, space reality. And it's really working hard. And when it's really working hard, it doesn't like to be distracted. So grief can show up. Like all of a sudden, you could be talking about rainbows, and this person could burst out crying. So I think sometimes we think, Oh, no, let's not talk about that person, because I'll make them cry. That sometimes has nothing to do with it. It's just sometimes, it's just this random thought pops it and they cry. Short temperedness is a really great one, sadness, we don't do sadness well, we're so quick to call sadness, depression. But sometimes it's just sad. And so you feel lethargic, you don't want to go to work. Disinterest is another huge one that happens a lot. Is all of a sudden, that job that you loved. What's the point? Why am I going to work? Why am I showing up? This is really dumb. Right? And that can lead to that short temperedness. Right? Because someone's, someone who's not as close to the person who has died is at a meeting with you. And they're talking about this type of thing. And they're getting mad about it. And you're like, are you serious right now? Joe just died three weeks ago, and you're in here yelling about this number that doesn't make a rap of difference. So it's, I think those are some of the things that people need to look at. Another one that people often don't look at is the opposite, that high energy, high positivity, everything's going to be alright. It was purpose. You know, I'm really grateful I got to know this person, she was really great. Just that kind of high energy like, that is someone who's really working hard to protect that and that incredible anger, sadness, resentment. Another one is guilt. And guilt, of course, can't be seen. But sometimes when we're guilty, we turned to anger to protect it. Anger, I always consider anger as a cover emotion. Usually when you're angry, there's other feelings below that that are causing the anger come up. So guilt is another one I last words I exchanged with them wasn't good, I should have been nicer, or they were doing this meeting I didn't, you know, we can come up with all sorts of reasons we should, should have (...) and that can also drive a lot of a lot of feelings at work. So I think those are sort of the top ones when you, when you ask.Lesley Logan 22:49  Yeah, thank you. I mean, like, it is interesting how anger can be the cover for a lot of things, I think, the fear of all of it, right? So you know, and so you wrote a book. And what was that? Was that almost like therapeutic for you? Was it helpful to kind of like organize all the things that were helpful was it for you? So when a friend or family member is in the same situation, you can go okay, I have to remember this? Like, what prompted that? because a book is a big deal. It takes a lot of time and effort. So what prompted that?Kim Hamer 23:23  It was like a fight between me and spirit or me, whatever you want to call it, me, God, Buddha, spirit, whatever. Because there's like, you need to write this and I was like, yeah, no. I'm not ready. No, you really need it. No, no, no, no, no, you. I'm not a writer, I kept telling myself, I'm not a writer. And I finally decided, I wrote it and 17 minutes a day, every day I would go to work at a company, I would sit down at my desk. And I would set a timer and I'd write for 17 minutes. 15 felt to clean like it didn't feel like enough and 20 felt way too long. So 17 was what I found. And it just I would just kind of keep going and 17 minutes, 17 minutes, 17 minutes, sometimes I would end up writing for an hour. Other times, it was just all I could do to write for 17 minutes. And as it started to come out of me, that's when I started to organize it. So I realized that the book is organized in sections, helping with a car, right? And we don't think about that when someone's dealing with cancer, we're always going to food. But a car needs to run, a car needs to have gas in it, a car needs to be registered, right? All those things, a car needs to be washed, all those things around a car, then we have help around food, but it's not the typical Hey, bring over lasagna. It's things like put a cooler by the front door. So the person doesn't have to answer the door every single time a meal is delivered. That's a pretty important one. It gives the power back to the person who's receiving the support. Whether or not they want to put out the energy to talk to you at that moment or not you personally but talk to whoever's at the door. Yeah, I'm helping with kids because I had kids at the time and so helping, I still have children. They're just not children. I said that once, people go, My God, did they die? And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.Yeah it was just the size of them.Yes. And then work and helping from a distance. So that's how it became to be organized. But it was, it was very scary for me. But once I started organizing, I had a vision of it. I really kind of wanted it to be sort of like a coffee table book, the kind of book that people can leave out and people go, what is this? and open it up. I really wanted it to be easy to read. Because I don't like I mean, I'm all, I read a lot. But I hate, I'm a bullet point, underlying kind of gal, you know, and so I don't want to read when I'm in a hurry to help my friend who's dealing with cancer or loss or anything else. I don't want to have to read five pages to get to that one nugget. So it's, it really is sort of a flip open book. And you can just kind of open it up and like, oh, here give her cash. Okay, wait, it was say, give her cash and then run away? Okay, great. I'll do that. Yeah. So these kind of really simple tips. And so that's how it came to be. But I had friends, I, you know, took a chance. And I had friends come over a couple Sundays in a row. And they read through it with me, and they asked for clarity and area. So getting that feedback was really hard. It was not a painless process.Lesley Logan 26:17  No. But I love that you brought people in to help you with that feedback. As you were saying that I was like, Oh my gosh, it should be on like the guest bathroom toilet. Like, just, you know what I mean? Like, because like people are always in the guest bathroom. And they if they're, then they're a little longer than that. They could like repaint, like a just flip it open and go, Oh, yes, you could like pass on these little nuggets, so that, you know if they ever need it. And then maybe they have it, I think I think that, especially for what the whole book is, like, the way you put it together. And those bullet points. What I love about that is it's like we're so not, we're still not good at talking about grief. And so having a bullet point of I can do this. And also for the perfectionists and overachievers who are like I need it, I don't want to, I don't want to screw it up. It's like, just do this one thing and you don't have to do it every Tuesday, you could just do it this Tuesday. And like, that's it, you know, I mean, it's, we forget that those small acts really do mean a lot. And you don't have to be all or nothing, I think we can really take the pressure off of ourselves to do that because, you know, the other person may not need that same thing next week. So you don't have to sign up or the not sign up because you've told yourself a story is going to be for the next nine months.Kim Hamer 27:30  Right. Exactly, exactly. And I think that is a really good point. It really is. It's hard because we don't feel like it's enough, right? Our friend or colleague or employee is going through hell, and really what enough is, is if we could just take it away from them. And I think sometimes we just we don't define what enough is in our heads. And so we keep thinking, There's got to be something more there's got to be something I can do or be or say. And you know it you know, the book also includes what not to say and what to say. So even if you can get to the point where you read them what not to say and then you take one thing about to say and just do that. That's enough. We all want to be witnessed, right? That's what, I mean, that's what Facebook and Tik Tok and all mean, they just took what we wanted. And, you know, I used to be, I wanted to be in the school newspaper, or you know, in my hometown newspaper that was being witnessed. But now it's taken like national stage, right? So, so we all want to be witnessed, including when we're going through a difficult time. But that witnessing doesn't have to be like let's put, let's put together a prayer circle and circle around or when there's a full moon and, you know, howl to the wolves or something. It just has to be me. I'm so sorry, this is happening to you. Like it just, it just breaks my heart. Right? you just expressing that moment of touching in. And I think that's what we, I think that's what we're most afraid of. Lesley Logan 28:59  Yeah. I mean, my goodness, our fear keeps us from doing so many things in our own lives, let alone, let alone like being there for those when they need it. And so, okay, so I want to know how you became this consultant. How do you start? How did you start doing that? Like, was that something that you knew you could do? Is it because you've been an HR so you had an idea of like, how to start doing that like, because that's, that's like, that's a, there's a difference being like, Okay, I like wrote a book, okay, I have a job and now you're like, Okay, now I'm going to talk about grief all the time with everybody all the time. You know, like that's a big deal, and then you're also having, then you also relive your story all the time. So I just wonder, like, what, like, what allowed you to make this decision and like, how did you go about doing it?Kim Hamer 29:47  I think again, it was one of those tugs where there it's hard. I mean, it's hard. I just right before this call, I just sent out 15 LinkedIn messages, I videoed, a video them with the name, saying this's what I do, this is how I can help. And this is also how I can help and I sent them out. And, and the title of it says, let's talk about death, not yours, but your employee. And you get this message that says, let's talk about death with a link, and then they get a video. And, and it's, it's crazy making, I literally, I mean, there are days right before this morning, I was like, this isn't gonna work, I can't do this, I'm only gonna have one or two clients, you know, it is, every day, it is just deciding that I'm going to make some type of step by step, some type of goal for myself, and then I add a little bit more to it to make it a stretch goal to make it uncomfortable. And then I just have to hit the ground running. As far as process. You know, I've been in HR for so long. So what I've done is taken some of really basic kind of management one on one, and interwoven that with, with what it's like to deal with a grieving team. So it's not like I pulled this out of thin air. You know, I've been, I've been studying and taking classes and you know, I have my PHR, which is a certificate. So I've been enveloped in the HR world, and it was just sort of like, oh, well, this piece would fit nicely right here and this piece goes right here, oh, that piece goes right here. And so now all of a sudden, I have a process. So it's, I think, I think that's it really is sort of following your gut. And I hate when people say, I just have to tell you I'm so sorry, everyone who's listening, because you're like what if your guts wrong? And believe me, I just have that all the time. I'm like, what if I'm doing it wrong? It really is. It's, it's it is trusting, it is believing so much in what I'm doing that I can't not do it. And I've tried. I've tried to say you know what, I'm just going to do HR, I like it. It's an exciting field, no, two days are the same. That's where I want to go. And I try that road. And then in the back of my mind as always as okay, but write this one blog post about this thing. Oh, then you should probably do another blog post about that thing. And so it's just, it's always, it's always present. And so I can't ignore it anymore. I just can't. And it's scary as hell. I mean, it's, it's scary as hell.Lesley Logan 32:12  Yeah. I think you anyone listening can insert whatever their goal is. Yeah. And put that there because I think like you said, like, there's a tug. And I think like, that is a really like, it's like, it's an idea that just never leaves you like It's like Hello, knock, knock, knock. You should do this. Exactly. And so I think like, you know, thank you for sharing that in a way that we can all go. Yep, been there. I was talking with a friend earlier today. And I was like, yeah, sometimes I'm like, why am I like working so hard on this thing that I'm like, so passionate about because like, I make really good money, just teaching. Just teaching, I could just teach and like, that was it, right? And then as I was saying that I was like, and I would be so bored. Cuz I clearly like this. What I'm doing stretches me in a way that like challenges me makes no two days the same. I know it's making a bigger impact. So it's just this really funny thing. Like it's pretty hard. Eventually that voice gets so loud, you can't not listen to it. So I love it. Thank you for sharing that process. You know, I think it's really cool. What you're doing, there's, it's so needed. And I, like, as you're talking about, like three people, I hope she'll just (...). Like, I just I don't know why I've been so interested in this topic lately. Because it's not like I've had any loss in my life. And a lot recently or that are close to me. But I do see how it affects, I coach a lot of Pilates instructors, a client passes away. And it's like, that's your, every Sunday at 9am. That was your client, like, that's, you don't just go and put someone else in there. It's not like the person goes, thanks so much Less, I'm not coming anymore. Not renewing my package like that. It's like...Kim Hamer 33:59  But even that's a loss. I mean, you know, you know, I just broke up with a guy. It wasn't like, we did like five dates. And I texted him and said, Hey, I don't think this is a fit. And then last week, I'm thinking about him. I'm like, Ah, maybe, maybe he was so sweet. He was so nice this way. And you know, like, because I realize I'm grieving, not the kind of grief that is when you're, when your person dies, but even losing a client, someone who you like is grief. And I think that and I think you're questioning it, your kind of curiosity about it right now really speaks to the fact that there is, there's loss almost, especially in if when you're an entrepreneur, there's loss of pretty much every weekLesley Logan 34:45  (...)Kim Hamer 34:47  some dreams, something that you have to give up and sometimes it's, sometimes it's bigger and better but I also think this is what makes life amazing. And,you know, we hear people talk about the stories and about how, I think, I don't remember, wasn't Brene Brown, it was someone else who just talked about how to use terrible things to really make your life sweeter. And I hate to say that I want I do want to say something, I'm going to talk about a silver lining that I got from my husband's death. I want to make it really clear to everybody that it is not your job to point out other persons silver lining. So many people were like, well, you know, you have so much going for you like they were trying to put silver linings around. One of my friends said, Kim, you know, don't worry, you're young, you're beautiful, you can get married again. And I was like, Oh, well, then I don't need to be so sad. Because you can replace my husband.Lesley Logan 35:43  You know, you know that they don't mean it that way. But, like, yeah, I love that. We don't need to find other people silver lining, they get to do that in their own story.Kim Hamer 35:55  Exactly. And, you know, the silver lining for me is, I mean, there's been a ton of them, you know, I, I hadn't experienced with my youngest son, I was, I applied to speak at this event. And I needed to have my application reread, like, I just knew I wasn't quite gotten it. And my daughter does a lot of it for me. And I just called my youngest son because we've been working together on some writing stuff for him. And so I said, Hey, can you take a look at this? And he's like, yeah, and took a look at it. And he said, I don't understand this. And what about that, and, and it got, it got clear, I got clarity. And my application got accepted. And I thought, I said to him, Oh, I said to him, you know, your father would be so proud that you did this. And then I thought, Oh, if Art were here, I would have never gone to Ezra, I would have never asked my youngest son for support, right? And that we now have a bond on a different level because my husband's dead. And there's no trade off. I can't say I wish my husband was alive. And I wish I didn't have this bond. And I'm glad my husband's dead. And I'm grateful for the bond. There's no, there's no either or it's just this kind of combination. So I have this incredible bond with my children, where I ask them for support in a way that most mothers when you're married to someone, you don't ask your kids for support in that way. And it was so beautiful, and so sweet and so wonderful. And it's because my husband died. So there's this, there's always this juxtaposition of my life. I really like my life. I really do. And I still think about my husband every single day. Not always in tears, a lot of times in laughter. But I still think about him every single day when my life is really sweet, and wonderful and open and kind and I love more openly because he died. I can't trade that, there's no trade off.Lesley Logan 37:51  Oh my gosh, Kim, you're amazing. I hope we get to connect more in the future. I just, I'm grateful that you're doing what you're doing. We're gonna take a brief break everyone. And then we're gonna find out how people can work with you and your Be It action items. All right, Kim. Well, you have been just wonderful sharing everything that you've learned. And I've learned so much from you already. Where can people find you, follow you, work with you? I know you hang out on the LinkedIn. Kim Hamer 38:21  I do. Hang out on LinkedIn. Uncool professional platform.Lesley Logan 38:27  I know (...) is trying to get me over there. And IKim Hamer 38:31  We'll talk afterwards. Get some pluses. So yeah, so find me on LinkedIn, I'm @Kim Hamer on LinkedIn, you can just Google my name and it comes up on LinkedIn. I also spent a lot of time on Instagram @100actsoflove. So I'm also there, you can find my stories about my kids and more personal stories about my life as a widow there. So those are the two best places. If, I know, we talked about this really quick and is it okay, if I talk really quick about what's the number one thing not to say?...(Lesley: Yeah, yes.) Okay. Because I wanted to make sure I touched on that. So the number one thing not to say, If you need anything, let me know. There are four reasons you should never say that. One, is because it doesn't connect you we talked a lot about just sitting in the yuck with the person who is going through this horrible time and it's really important that you just take a moment to go, Oh, you know, to say, My heart hurts or I don't know what to say, to acknowledge what's happening and that phrase doesn't acknowledge it. Two, you're gonna like this one. But Lesley, what is anything? like anything, like, did anything mean that you're gonna go pick up my vomiting four year old toddler and the car you just cleaned? Or did anything mean you just be happy to drop off a bottle of wine? Anything is too big for anybody to get their head around. It's just too much. The third reason it's not helpful, now you put the pressure on the person you're trying to help to come up with something. Right? And so their brains already like I like to say they already don't have 52 decks, 52 cards in the deck right now, they may be down to 26 and maybe they have 47. We don't know. But they're not thinking straight. And so you're now putting the extra pressure on them to figure out what anything is and figure out that one thing that you might be willing to do. And the fourth reason it's not helpful is because y'all none of us are really good at asking for help. And now you've put the pressure on someone who is extremely vulnerable with their life right now, their life has ups that like the floor has become the sidewall, and they don't know what they're doing. And now you're asking them in this extremely vulnerable state, to ask you to do something that you may not want to do that they just figured maybe this is the thing that you want to do and risk rejection. And nobody is going to do that. And we all think I don't want to bother them, they're too busy. This puts a burden on them. That's where our heads go. So the person is, is unless they're like your bestest friend in the whole wide world, they're not going to come back and ask you to do something. So that's why it's the least helpful. Instead, be specific and offer more than once. Now, there are four other things I recommend that you don't say. And a great way to find those four other things is to go to my website, did you like the segue there?...(Lesley: I love it. I love a good transition.) You go to my website at 100. That's the number 100actsoflove.com. Backslash what not to say. So you'll download, it'll say for cancer, it applies for everything, you will learn the four other things not to say, why they're not helpful to say, because I think that's really important that people start to, there aren't there's an anatomy of an unhelpful thing to say. So people start to kind of understand, oh, when I'm in fear, I tend to say things that are less helpful. And then they'll also find other phrases to say instead of those four bad phrases, so that's what I wanted to share.Lesley Logan 41:47  Oh, my goodness, okay. Well, thank you. That is, I'll be going there, we'll put the link in the show notes. You know, I mean, it's just, it's terrible that we all are and it's 2023 when we're recording this and like, we still don't know these things. They're not being taught these things in school, you know, you've given us so much and so honestly, if that is the bold, executable, intrinsic, target step to Be It Till You See It, I'll take it. But if you had anything else to add to that, you know, let us know because, you're so, you're so informative, and it's really easy for people to understand. So...Kim Hamer 42:26  Thank you, I think that I have sort of three. The first one is feeling feelings, it sucks that this person who you like or care about, or really love is going through what they're going through. And I recommend, you know, crying in a car, just put some sad music on a car, just go for a drive and have a really good cry, maybe not drive and cry at the same time. Depends how coordinated you are. Larger crying, but you know, get those feelings out of you, right? Pissed off letter to the higher power about how this isn't fair. But whatever it is, get those feelings out of you. Because once they're out of you, when they do a lot less damage out on paper or in the air than they do in your head. And when they're in their head, when they're in your head, they leak out of you, no matter how hard you try to not have them leak out of you, they will leak out of you. And the person you're trying to help will feel them, they may be completely unable to articulate what they're feeling but they're going to feel them. And that's what you don't want to do. I think the second actionable thing is think about your, what your specific offer is, you know, we all have helping superpowers. Mine happened to be I love a clean kitchen, you need me to come in and clean your kitchen, I'm happy to do it. And I will find whatever you need from the grocery store, I will meet that truck at 5am in the morning to make sure that I get that item off that off that truck. So those happen to be two of my favorites. But there things that we're really good at, maybe it's Excel, maybe it's putting together a pivot table, right at work, maybe it's putting together a project report, maybe it's corralling children, maybe it's maybe it's driving or fixing cars, or you have a really good mechanic, we all have specific things that we're really good at. And that we like to do. And we don't find value in them, because they're so easy for us. But that's your helping superpower. So offer that and offer more than once because again, the person that you're dealing with, is not dealing with a full deck of cards. So make sure that you're just, you know, just reminding them every now and then that you're there. And then the last thing is, this is sort of hard, but don't make it about yourself. If they don't call you. It's not because you're an ass or they're mad at you or whatever. It's because I think that I guess maybe the third thing is put yourself in their shoes. Yeah, for just a moment. Right? They're not really concerned about calling you because they're pissed at you because you didn't offer the right way. They got so many bigger things to deal with. That is like 1027 on their list right now. So don't make it about you just send them a lot of love. So I think those are the three things. Lesley Logan 44:51  Yeah, those are beautiful. And actually just like, I'm so glad I just like went through them. I can't wait for Brad to hear this because I'm like, Oh, we're really going to help him out with dogs. We can walk people's dogs. And whenever I ordered chewy, I can go and figure out what their order is. And just place that thing like, you know what I mean? Like we can all find different things that we can whenever I'm going to order dog food, I can just you know, so like, there's ways we can make it so that it's helpful. And you don't have to feel like you had to like, you don't feel like you're burdening yourself with it as well. So continue just putting more pressure on yourself and you do nothing. Yeah. Oh my gosh, thank you, Kim, for being here. Y'all...(Kim: You're very welcome.) How are you going to use these tools in your life? How are you going to use these tips? I really hope that this is one of those episodes you can save and re listen to if you need or share with a friend who's like oh my gosh, my friend at work went through this thing.

La corsa all'innovazione non è indolore. Aumenta la complessità delle esperienze. Diminuisce il tempo di attenzione. I clienti target invecchiano e perdono progressivamente capacità di adattamento. Quali sono dunque le criticità nella relazione tra le persone e la tecnologia? E perché è importante conoscere a fondo questo attrito, o meglio questa contrapposizione?Amore e odio, sono elementi antitetici che possono convivere nella nostra relazione con gli oggetti interattivi: ci parliamo, ci affidiamo a loro per avere "risposte" a bisogni contingenti, confidiamo nella loro capacità di aiutarci a gestire la complessità. Sono quelli che definiamo i talking-objects, o talkjets. Al contempo, alcune generazioni in particolare sviluppano sentimenti di repulsione e rabbia di fronte all'incapacità di gestire l'imprevisto generato dai medesimi talkjets.Conoscere e comprendere questi fenomeni è elemento essenziale per una azienda che voglia disegnare e costruire soluzioni ed esperienze attorno al Cliente.

We're coming out. We're still pandemic land. People are in their beautiful masks, but we're coming back and KPFA has a few more upcoming events. I wanna do a land acknowledgement, and I want to acknowledge that K P F a is located on unseated, Cho Chino speaking, Lonni land known as the Huk, as journalists and community members. We have the responsibility to engage critically with the legacy of colonists. Colonialist violence and to uplift the active and ongoing indigenous struggles connected to the land that we are gathered on tonight. If you wanna check out more, go to native land dot California, and if you live in the east bay, I'm asking, do you pay the Shmi land tax, which is led by indigenous women, find out more about Ante's work of reation and returning in indigenous lands to the people establishing a cemetery to reinter stolen alone, ancestral remains and building urban gardens, community centers and ceremonial spaces. So current and future generations of indigenous people can thrive in the bay area. Thank you so much for joining us. We are honored tonight to welcome author Cathy Cenzia Choy. Cathy is currently a professor of ethnic studies at our own UC Berkeley, and she has published multiple books around Asian American identity. And is here tonight to chat with us about her latest book, Asian American histories of the United States. Welcome Cathy. Yes. Thank you. Okay. I'm gonna do anode to the great poet Chinaka Hodges, and ask, who are your people and where do you come from? [00:03:19] Cathy Cenzia Choy: I am the daughter of Filipino immigrants born and raised in New York city. I've been in Berkeley since 2004, and UC Berkeley has been a very important institution and community for me. And it's just such an honor to be. Your presence today and tonight I wanna thank you Miko for taking the time to, to host this. I wanna acknowledge my family and friends who are in the audience, my husband and my daughter are here. And I'm so pleased about that. And I feel like I'm with my people right now. [00:04:03] Miko Lee: what are the legacies that you carry with you from your ancestors? [00:04:11] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Wow. These are really Deep questions. I know. I feel like I care, even though sometimes I'm not aware. All the details. I feel like I carry the histories of my ancestors, even though, as I write in the book. So many of us in including myself didn't grow up knowing much about Asian American history because it wasn't taught to us in our schools. And even with that I feel my ancestors' presence with me. And I especially thank my mother Petri, za and other family members for also making that presence alive in so many ways while I was growing [00:04:57] Miko Lee: up in New York city. And are there certain elements that you carry with you on the daily? [00:05:05] Cathy Cenzia Choy: I don't know. In terms of the daily, because now I'm at this point in my life where I've had many experiences and I. Learned more to own my voice. And I feel owning that voice like through speaking and through writing is something I've learned and carried from them. But it took me also some time to, to get to this point. And even though I've talked to so many people in public spaces I always feel still some, some. nerves every time. [00:05:50] Miko Lee: So maybe it's self-expression and passing on the torch to the next generation around storytelling, around [00:05:56] Cathy Cenzia Choy: teaching. Absolutely. I think one of the things that I try to impart in, in my teaching at UC Berkeley at university of Minnesota twin cities, where I had taught for six years prior to coming to Berkeley, I try to impart that, that lesson of learning to, to cultivate your confidence and to own your voice. [00:06:19] Miko Lee: Your book is such an interesting collection because you're talking about some deep Asian American history stories, and then you're intertwining it with your own personal stories. And I wonder if you could speak a little bit more about your personal family story and your her story and how that intertwines with Asian American, her story. [00:06:39] Cathy Cenzia Choy: One of the things that is different from in terms of this book compared to my previous two books, is that it was intended for a very broad audience. And given what Asian Americans have been going through in this country since 2020 in many ways it was also born out of some very difficult, challenging circumstances. And I've experienced like many Asian Americans have experienced since 2020, a level of fear and anxiety and grief, at what has been happening with the surgeon anti-Asian violence, its relation to coronavirus related anti-Asian racism and. all of this has infused a different approach to writing in this book. And I write in the first person, the second person in one chapter on, on world war II. And I write in the more traditional third person which is typical and scholarly history books. So when I write in the first person, I share personal experiences that are intertwined to these histories. And this includes some of the fear and anxiety I was already mentioning. And that concern about the surge in anti-Asian violence and that when I see those stories on the media I see my family members, I see my elders and. in the book. I talk about how I've talked to my children and I realize that they see me. And so that's one personal experience, but my husband is. And his family's history is also on the, in the book. There's one chapter titled 19, 19 declaration of independence and 1919, that declaration of independence is referring to the declaration of. Korean independence, both in Korea against Japanese imperialism but also a Korean Congress that came to Philadelphia in April 19, 19. And my husband's parents on his father's side were among those Korean independence activists in the early 20th century. And I share experiences also how we've tried to pass on Asian American history to our children. And I talk about a moment where we brought our son to the Japanese American Memorial garden in tan Farran, which is now a shopping mall, but used to be a horse racing track and then was converted into an assembly center or what they would call a relocation center which forcibly relocated Japanese Americans here in, in the bay area there before. Forcibly incarcerating them in internment camps during world Wari. So there's quite a bit of my history, my family's history in this, even though the, of, it's not the, all of the histories that I talked about, you're [00:09:50] Miko Lee: telling part of your family stories, but then you're also telling a bunch of personal stories, small stories of people to help really illuminate a moment in history. And I'm wondering how you went about the process of selecting those individual stories to help shed light on a bigger [00:10:03] Cathy Cenzia Choy: issue. Yeah that's a great question. I think that's one of the challenges with history, which has story in it history and is about communicating stories and the choices we make matter. So I chose stories that I felt reflected key moments events, groups in Asian American histories over the past almost 200 years. And the idea also was that in selecting these stories, many of which came from research, I had done in the past and also my teaching. But I also wanted to create this feeling in the book of engaging and inviting readers to think about what stories would they want to include and not to cut it off and say, these are the stories we need to know, but rather these are the stories of. People's families and communities. And what are the stories of your families and communities? [00:11:09] Miko Lee: So in a way, it's an invitation for the readers and the audience members to look at your personal stories and how they intertwine with Asian American [00:11:17] Cathy Cenzia Choy: history. Yes. I hope that one of my hopes is that the book is as accessible as possible and that it is shared across an incredibly diverse audience. Also multi-generational and it would mean a great deal to me, for people to share the histories in this book with their elders and people of their generation and younger generations. [00:11:44] Miko Lee: And speaking of stories and connections, one of the biggest connections of a API community is around our food. people. It doesn't matter where you are, people know about Asian food and Asian Pacific Islander food. And you have a whole section in your book that is an interlude around food. And I'm wondering if you can just read the bolded sections of the interlude to the audience as a teaser, and then we'll talk about it some [00:12:08] Cathy Cenzia Choy: more. Okay. Yes. I'd love that. Okay. We, [00:12:13] Miko Lee: so for those of you that haven't read the book, , here's a little bit of a teaser of what the book has to offer Yes. And just the fact there, there's an interlude in the book. Which is also do you wanna talk about that now or after you pretty different? [00:12:19] Cathy Cenzia Choy:  It's just it was, getting at a point that I had made earlier about how I wanted to write differently. I also felt compelled to write differently. And there's an interlude in the book and it's entitled 1965 reprise the faces behind the food. And I'm going to read an abridged version because this way of reading, it makes it like a shout out poem.yeah. So 1965 reprise the faces behind the food. This is for the Asian American faces behind the food that nourishes Americans and enriches American cuisine. The general public knows. So little about Asian American people, but our food is everywhere at one's exotic and mainstream. This is for Larry. I Italy on the Filipino American farm workers who started the grape strike in Delano, California in 1965. This is for Dawn Baan and those who champion labor history. This is for the over 300,000 Asian migrants, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Filipino, whose labor made sugar production, Hawaii top industry. This is for the Chinese workers who transformed tens of thousands of acres of California, swamp land into airable land, and who applied their ingenuity to orchards from Oregon to Florida. This is for the Chinese, Japanese and Filipino workers in the canned salmon industry of the Pacific Northwest. This is for the Japanese fruit and vegetable farmers. This is for the Asian, Indian, agricultural workers. Many of whom found work in California's fields in the early century. This is for the restaurant workers like chinch wing, who started working at an Americanized Chinese restaurant in 1936 in New York city. This is for the food service workers in cafeteria. This is for the writer and migrant worker, Carlos bloon. This is for de leaping sound who in 1956 became the first person of Asian descent elected to serve as a us representative and champion the farmers of his Southern California district. This is for Thai American. Who have a complicated relationship with Thai food because they are often conflated with it. This is for the monos. Mono is a term that conveys respect for Filipino elders in the 1920s and 1930s, they followed the crops from California to the Pacific Northwest. The Mons demonstrated their militancy. The 1965 grape strike was not an exception, but rather a singular point on a continuum. In the age of COVID 19 Asian Americans continued to be the many faces behind the food, using their creativity and leadership to promote communal care during a critical time. This is for Hannah DRA, a self-identified Pakistani American Muslim, and the co-founder of transformation. A technology platform that redistributes leftover, prepared food from restaurants and companies to places that need them like homeless shelters. This is for heart of dinner, whose mission is to nourish New York, city's Asian elders with love and food every week, the irony of Asian Americans producing America's food and enlivening, the overall food experience and the context of hate and violence has not been lost on them historically. And in the present day in March, 2021, people gathered at North Dakota state university in Fargo to protest against anti-Asian hatred. One poster red love us. Like you love our food. [00:16:51] Miko Lee: Thank you so much. Yes. Can make some noise. That's good. And if I may add, this is for. Adding all of your stories so that our Asian American history and tapestry can become richer and deeper. Thank you so much, Kathy, for sharing that. Now talk about why you wanted a kind of musical interlude in the middle of the book. [00:17:15] Cathy Cenzia Choy: It had to do with the histories the multiplicity that I emphasize in the book that there are multiple origins of Asian American history. And we should refer to these as Asian American histories, because my approach in the book is less about a linear, a traditional linear approach which can sometimes suggest causality or. Progress all the time and rather than take a linear approach. One of the things that's distinctive about the book is that the first substantive chapter begins with the year 2020. And the book concludes with 1869 and then each of the chapters. So it goes back in time and each of the chapters moves forward and back in time. So one of the chapters is titled 1965. And it's about the faces of post 1965 Asian America. And it's referring to the immigration and nationality act of 1965, which dramatically changed the democratic the demographics of our country. And. Yet, it was difficult to weave in seamlessly the story of Larry Italy and the Filipino farm workers and how important that grape strike was in, in Delano, California. And I thought to myself I don't ne I, I don't wanna put a, another chapter entitled 1965. So I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do this interlude and then, and write in a different way to give people a break from the style and then encourage you to give shout outs of your own. [00:18:57] Miko Lee: Thank you. Speaking of Larry Iley who in a bunch of your book, you talk about erasure or as Helen Z talks about missing in history. What are those moments that are MIH? And Larry I. Long is one of those many stories we always hear about Cezar Chavez and the great boycott when it was actually a Filipino man, Larry Ile that you write about. And I'm wondering after doing this exhaustive research for your book and as a professor, what are some kind of key missing in history moments? Do you think stand out in Asian American Pacific Islander history? [00:19:30] Cathy Cenzia Choy: There are key moments in every chapter in this book. In the first chapter on, on 2020 I talk about the disproportionate toll of COVID 19 on Filipino nurses in this country. And so one of the things that's MIH, which I've tried to address in my own research and was the topic of my first book was why and how the Philippines became the world's leading sending country of professional nurses and a specifically to, to the United States. And so in, in every chapter, the chapter after 2020 is one on 1975, and it's about Southeast Asian Americans and the refugee experience, but also the descendants of refugees in Southeast Asian immigrants. And so much of their stories are MIH because we are familiar with the Vietnam war, but often from the American perspective. And we, the. Participation of and Laosian Americans were part of a secret army and a secret war. So there's so many instances of that in every single chapter where this I, ideas of erasure secrecy being overlooked like Larry Ile who worked closely with Suor Chavez for years, they were director and assistant director of the U F w but many of us yes, know that story. [00:20:58] Miko Lee: I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about the great former photojournalist quirky Lee and his impact, because I think one of those things about missing a history are those that have stood up to try and tell that story again, and you profile quirky. Can you tell a little bit the audience about Corky Lee and what he did. [00:21:14] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yeah, well, thanks for giving me the opportunity Corky Lee was one of the most important, I think photo journalists of the late 20th and early 21st century and is such a pioneer in Asian American journalism. And he is just one of the over 1 million people we have lost in the United States as a result of COVID 19. And I wanted to honor his memory in the book. He was well known for taking a photograph of a sick American after nine 11 and so many sick Americans in our country after nine 11 were targeted for anti-Asian violence, they were conflated with the stereotypical image of what a terrorist might, might look like in our country. And so we took this photograph of a sick man wearing a red turban with the United States flag draped around his shoulders. And the other thing he's also very well known for is something that is a major theme in this book, which is the theme of erasure of Asian American history and experience in the overall us experience and that era. one of the key moments is in 1869 with the completion of the building of the first transcontinental railroad, which took place at a Ary summit in Utah. And this is a very important moment in, in the history of our nation as a symbol of our modern progress that, enabled us expansionism across the continent. And eventually also into the Hawaiian islands and Asia and Chinese workers at were. About 90% of the labor force of the central Pacific here in the Western region of building [00:23:17] Miko Lee: my family that railroad. Yes. Yeah. My ancestors built that railroad. [00:23:21] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes. I re we talked about that briefly and there might be other descendants here too of the railroad workers. And when they finally met at Promentory summit, there was a celebratory photo it's quite known and there was not a single Chinese worker in this photo. Not a single Chinese worker and quirky Lee. When he was in grade school, he remembered, learning about Chinese participation in the building of this railroad. And so he looked at that photo and he noticed that absence and erasure. And so I believe it was the hundred and 45th anniversary of the building of. that railroad. And he rest staged that iconic photograph. And this time he included the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers and other Asian Americans. And it was a joyous moment. And he referred to these moments, photographic justice. [00:24:24] Miko Lee: I love that whole even ethos of photographic justice. And you wrote in your book that was a 2014, that's so recent that this has happened. It's just this and also one person. And it also shows the power. Hello, ethnic studies, professors in the house, the power that he, this one, man heard this story and said, why isn't this being told, right? [00:24:46] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes. And that's the, one of my hopes for the book is you'll notice that in, throughout the book in the various chapters, I oppose these questions. No questions for us to think about. It's not solely about here's the experience and here are the dates and the years and the events, but it's the way we all participate in history, but by what we choose to remember to reflect upon and how we use that historical knowledge to, to move forward, [00:25:20] Miko Lee: next up listen to girl gang by Rubia barra That was girl gang by the amazing Ruby Abara. [00:27:26] Miko Lee: You are tuned into apex express on 94.1 K PFA and 89.3 K P F B. Now let's get back to my interview with author Kathleen. Cinzia joy. [00:27:41] Miko Lee: Keeping on with this conversation about erasure and representation, you quote this study by Nancy Angwin, who is amazing. That is it really recent last year, 2021 study that says 40% of films have no zero Asian American Pacific Islander representation and of the films that do have representation over 25% of the characters die, violent. talk to us a little bit more about what does that say? How is that connected to erasure? What does that mean to the broader multicultural universe? What does it say about Asian Americans? [00:28:19] Cathy Cenzia Choy: In that chapter I'm gonna paraphrase since I'm not directly reading from it, but in that chapter, I reflect on that study and those statistics. And one of the things that if you wanna look directly at that study because in the notes, there's the URL to it. You, you will read that those statistics are juxtaposed with statistics about anti-Asian violence in 20, 20 and 2021. And I posed the question in that chapter. Are you, are we human? If we're not portrayed in a dignified and humane way. in popular culture. And if the only representations or the major representations of you are as, one dimensional flat stereotypes. And if it gets to the point where you're so used to the narrative on screen, that you can expect that Asian or Asian American character to die and not make it, what does that do to our psyche and how we view real world Asian Americans. So I didn't share this in the book, but when my children were younger, I actually had this experience. We, we brought them to this action film and this Asian American character was on screen. and I remember putting my head down thinking, oh I really hope this character doesn't die. and I turned to my son who was quite young at the time, and I tried to like, prepare him for that. And then the character did die in, in, in the film. So it's that feeling of why are we seeing such similar stories over and over again? And how can we begin to change that narrative? [00:30:14] Miko Lee: Connected to that and connected to your earlier book about Filipino nurses. One of my pet peeves, I love watching doctor shows as just totally fluff. And one of my pet peeve is that there are never enough Asian doctors and I am in the bay area. Every single one of my doctors is Asian. So I've always been like, this is such I don't understand. And especially with how many Filipinos are in the medical profession. So can you expand a little bit more of that and bringing in your last book, which is empire of care, nursing and migration and Filipino American history? [00:30:50] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes, I oh the present the past present and future of American nursing is inextricably linked to the presence of Filipino American nurses in this country. And Filipino American nurses have been in the United States for six. Decades. Many of them are immigrants, so they were born and raised in the Philippines, but the United States has been their home and they have made this incredible contribution to us healthcare delivery. And California we are one of the beneficiaries of their labor they're in hospitals, they're in elder care. And in the book I mentioned the Emmys, I forgot what year that was, but one of the co-host Michael Shay actually, said can you believe, Hollywood is a diversity problem and can you believe they did 15 seasons of ER without one single Filipino nurse? And have you been to a hospital in this country? And I feel also that frustration and that irony and it's, I have to say it's. It was especially painful since 2020 because Filipino nurses and other Asian American healthcare workers were also among the targets of anti-Asian violence. And hate in this country, even while they were wearing medical scrubs. For example, there was testimony given and there's one hospitalist in, in New York who I I quote in, in the book who, who talked about this paradox that here they are contributing to the health of our nation and putting their lives on the line yes. Through exposure and dealing with this hate and violence. And he said, it's really challenging being. celebrated and villainized at the same time. And that's the problem when so much of our common understanding or what we think is an understanding of Asian Americans is based on stereotypes. Because stereotypes are flat. They're one dimensional. They dehumanize even the most seemingly positive ones. [00:33:13] Miko Lee: Okay. I wanna talk about a different topic, which is in 1997, time magazine released this cover and on the cover where all these cute Asians, and it said the model minority. And I remember being in school and my teacher bringing that in and showing that magazine cover the class and pointing to me and I just had this like visceral gut reaction to it. Can you talk about how the model minority, the whole ethos of model minority has been used as a tool for white SuPM. [00:33:49] Cathy Cenzia Choy: I, I appreciate you phrasing the question that way. The model minority stereotype, which is a myth is such a complex stereotype. And some people might say, the model minority is about Asian Americans being smart and economically successful. And what's wrong with that? Isn't that positive? Isn't that the best kind of branding any group or could ask for. And it is a tool of divide and conquer. It is a tool of white supremacy which is, I think the way I understand. You're phrasing of the question because it too has a history. And part of that history is emerging in the late 1960s during civil rights and other, social movement protests, and having media stories quoting academics as experts contrasting Asian Americans as successful model minorities who don't complain. Don't ask for government help pull themselves up by their bootstraps in contrast to black Americans. And it was really direct like that now in, in contrast to African Americans who are protesting and demanding justice and change from the government this is a. Strategy of divide and conquer and prevent us from seeing. So in some ways it's another form of erasure that I talk about in the book that there's this longer history of Asian American and black solidarity and friendship living in neighborhoods together, working together in organizing [00:35:39] Miko Lee: together, [00:35:39] Cathy Cenzia Choy: organizing together work, interracial relationships and families. And we're [00:35:45] Miko Lee: talking about you, Grace Lee [00:35:46] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Boggs yes, I right. Grace Gracely BOS is certainly, part of that, one of many right. One, one of many who was married to James Boggs, a a black auto worker and author and activist. And they were married for a long time and together created. Summer which was this community, youth based organization and out of that love and marriage and mutual activism created something which is relating to another main theme in the book of resistance. It's like that creative spark like Detroit summer to create community gardens and to paint murals and to have intergenerational dialogues and to move forward in, in the most hopeful and an inclusive. Possible. And that's just one example. [00:36:42] Miko Lee: Yeah. I appreciate how in the book you're talking about erasure, you're having resistance stories, and then you did bring up talking about mixed race and global adoption. And I know your former book was around global families. So I am you share some really lovely tidbits in there, like about Punjabi Mexican communities that I think maybe folks don't know about, or maybe folks in the bay area went to go see the amazing Bonura ballet folk, Loco production that told that whole story in dance that Joti sing and Zenon Beon did. But you also talk about Kip full books' book about Hopper's mixed race folks. So do you feel that and your own kids are mixed race? My own kids are also mixed race different Asian ethnicities together. I'm wondering. Okay, sorry, this is a long question, but I'm thinking back to years ago, the amazing performer David photo Moto did a production where he came out, dressed in Scottish. It came out, dressed in entire Kabuki outfit with a kimono and a face, and he did a whole entire Kabuki dance and then picked up his bagpipe and played a Scottish bagpipe. And it was such a great combo of his two cultures that he meshed together and that he was sharing about himself with the audience. So with that being said, and with your both personal family story, and you're having written this book, what is your take on cross racial adoption and mixed race folks being a bridge to the future? [00:38:17] Cathy Cenzia Choy: well, so it's an interesting way of saying that because I think in that chapter, which is titled 1953 mixed race lives I don't necess, I do say they're about our future because our future is multiracial. And we know that since the 2000 census and in the most recent 20, 20 census we know that an exponential number. The largest growing group are of people who I identify as more than one racial category. But one of the key things I key points that I make in that chapter is that being a mixed race and multiracial is not solely about our future, but it's also about our past and our present. and we have a multiracial past. And that includes some key examples in the, in that chapter are early 19th century Chinese and Irish marriages and in New York city and east Bengali Puerto Rican, African American, west Indian families and communities in Harlem and Filipino and Irish multiple generational families in new Orleans. And you had mentioned, P Punjabi Mexican Americans from Texas to California and MES Filipino, Mexican family is especially in Southern California. That is just as much about our past and our present as, as well as our future and the adoptees also figure in, in, in that chapter and 1953 each year serves as a touchstone for going back and forth in time. 1953 is referring to the end of the Korean war and how foundational the international adoption, especially by American families of mixed race Korean and American children, born of us servicemen and Korean women. How important that group was in terms of transforming the United States into an international adoption nation to. Which, which leads the world in terms of internationally adopting children. And even though Russia, Guatemala Romania, Ukraine are also major sending countries of adoptive children to the United States. Most of those adoptive children are from Asian countries and Korea plays an important role in that history, but so does Japan and Vietnam as, as well. And they're an important part of Asian American history that I also think tends to be marginalized in our understanding of the Asian American experience. [00:41:09] Miko Lee: Okay. My last questions before we open it up to our lovely audiences, juicy questions is what would you like readers to walk away with after reading your book? [00:41:20] Cathy Cenzia Choy: I would love for readers to walk away with a more. nuanced and deeper understanding of Asian American histories and to reflect upon how relevant that is for this moment. This is a moment when so many of us are confronting so many different existential crises from climate to economic insecurity, but since 2020 for Asian Americans, this this dual crises of the pandemic and the surge in anti-Asian hate has really made an impact on so many of us and our communities. And I believe that understanding Asian American histories, understanding them as multidimensional human beings, who are part of the American experience Is one important step to, to reduce and end this violence. Thank [00:42:24] Miko Lee: you. Okay. We're passing out cards. Do we have, oh, we have some collected. Rolling. Does anybody have any questions? Does anybody have any questions? Oh, wow. [00:42:34] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yeah, jump in the [00:42:35] Miko Lee: card. Okay. I read this. Can you talk a little bit about medical scapegoating, which you mentioned in your book? [00:42:44] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes. One of the things that we are observing since 2020, and since COVID 19 has become a pandemic, is that medical scapegoating of Asian Americans. And in the book, I talk about how there's a long history of anti-Asian medical scapegoating that is as old as the oldest migration. Oldest mass migration of Asians to, to the United States. And in the second half of the 19th century Chinese and by extension Chinese American bodies were blamed for smallpox outbreaks. Japanese immigrants were blamed for typhoid. South migrants were associated with hookworm. And what this does is that it scapegoats people, it dehumanizes them and makes them targets for egregious forms of violence. And that what we are experiencing today is not new. And this relates to that point about kind of one of my hopes for the book is that learning and engaging about these histories is really important. To end this medical scapegoating and the violence that accompanies it. [00:44:02] Miko Lee: I think people don't even realize that China towns were burned down during those times, too. [00:44:07] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes, I in addition to erasure and resistance violence is a third major theme, of the book and violence means many different things. We, in the media, it often focuses on the most egregious forms of violence like mass shooting. But the anti-Asian hate incidents and violence have ranged from bullying and harassment in schools, spitting on Asian Americans name calling I'm telling Asian Americans to go back to where they, they came from and you were referring to arson and burning down of Chinatowns and , this was something here in California and in, in the Pacific Northwest the method of anti-Asian violence was all often in the form of expulsion of Chinese from their communities through arson shooting stoning threats, [00:45:04] Miko Lee: right. You talked a little bit in the beginning, and this is an audience question. You talked a little bit in the beginning about the order of the book and we had you read the interlude and you said that it was done in a different order, starting with, 20, 20. Can you talk a little bit more about your thought process in creating the book in this kind of non-linear time structure? [00:45:24] Cathy Cenzia Choy: In the preface I write and also in the acknowledgements I give thanks to my students over so many years at university of Minnesota UC Berkeley especially but also other institutions that earlier in, in my career, I've learned so much from my students, from listening to them from engaging in dialogue about what we're reading. And in spring of 2021, I taught this class on Asian American history in the age of COVID 19. And some of the students were telling me that they really appreciated having taken previous courses in Asian American history, but how sometimes the courses they would go in that linear approach and then primarily end. Maybe in like the 1980s or maybe the, the glass class would be here, are these contemporary issues now related to all the things that we've talked about. And they were just voicing, some concern about how is history relevant today. And so I played with the chronology using a non-linear approach to make this point that Asian American history is relevant. Now, it's relevant in 2020, it's relevant in 1975. It's relevant in 1953. It's relevant in 1869. And it's relevant right now. And we're all we're all a part [00:46:59] Miko Lee: of it. So I'm gonna combine a few questions here. And this one is really about the different waves of Asian American immigration and how those impacted the storytelling. And I think. The different, there's different immigrant communities have gone into really specific fields for instance, Chinese laundries and, Vietnamese nail salons, Cambodian donut shops. Can you talk a little bit about how the storytelling is connected to the different waves of immigration first generation second, third generation? [00:47:35] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes that's a great question. And the book is not organized that way in the sense, like this year represents a particular wave and so does the next year. But there are particular chapters in the book that refer to immigration waves. And one of the chapters not the 1965 reprise, but there is a chapter 1965 about the faces of post 1965 Asian America and 1965 referring to the immigration act. Of 1965 is often considered this a major wave and a new kind of immigration that was different from late 19th and then early 20th century waves of immigration. Because by that point, immigration policy had created preferences for highly educated persons with needed skills. And one of the reasons why we are seeing so many Asian immigrant professionals in the United States is not an outcome of our innate ability in stem. But is also an outcome of but is an outcome of immigration policy. It's not in any ability there's quite a bit of training, that, that goes into it. And I actually didn't have much talent in the stem fields, even though I write sometimes about them like, like nursing but in the chapter, 1975 trauma and transformation, I talk about waves theory and how there's often the conceptualization of three different kinds of waves to describe Southeast Asian refugees to the United States with. the first wave beginning immediately after the fall of psych on in 1975 tended to be this wave of people who Southeast Asians who had connections to the us military there, I had worked with them and were more highly educated. And that was part of the first wave. And then the second wave, which is sometimes referred to as the boat people, even though a number of Asian American studies scholars have criticized the use of that term because it obscures their heroic will to live, but more, more, much more di diverse, ethnically a lot of Chinese Vietnamese people of farming backgrounds from rural areas in contrast to the first and then like this third wave that, that came later that involved groups like ations and even later than that also immigrants through immigration policy as opposed to, to refugee policy. And what I also point out is that these kinds of conceptualizations are important. They help us, understand historically some major changes in terms of Southeast Asian American demographics in this country. But I wanted to emphasize, so I write in the book, waves are constantly moving and taking different shapes. And in 2000 there was a new group of refugees who were resettled in Minnesota. And this is a living history and that newer waves of refugees are coming from Myanmar and Butan and who are working in places like. The state of Iowa and working in our meat packing plants and who also have been exposed disproportionately to COVID 19 because then president Donald Trump had invoked the defense production act to keep meat, packing plants open. So waves are important, but they're not set and they're always moving and flowing like our histories [00:51:16] Miko Lee: as a follow up to that. One of our audience members has a question about how many immigrants have when they first arrive have been exploited in their labor positions. And they're wondering if you could share some positive stories and I M I wonder if you could share with the audience about uncle Ted and what he did with donuts [00:51:35] Cathy Cenzia Choy: well, I think. it isn't it isn't as though there are positive and negative stories, oftentimes when you are really deeply engaging with these histories and these stories, there's often these moments that might be negative and then others that are more positive. And I think that adds to the humanity of people. And so just to give an, the example of the Filipino healthcare workers, some of 'em are nurses, but are also working in elder care. And some of those conditions that they're working in are very challenging. It's very challenging to be a caregiver. And at the same time, so many of them also take pride in their. I don't wanna portray them as just solely being, having a negative experience. They're proud of their caregiving and we need to care for our caregivers a bit more in this country. In terms of positive stories, so one thing I'll share is there's this and this is an example. I, I feel of resistance and that creative spark there's something called the south Asian American digital archive SAA D and they have this project called the first day's project. And it's a project where immigrants, regardless of immigrants from around the world can share their story on this digital platform to describe their first days in, in the United States. And. Even though these first days have a mix of like positive and negative aspects. I have to say while reading these stories it brought just smile and joy. For me and reading these stories that are so unique and universal at the first time, same time. And so one of the stories was of this young girl who was nine years old back in, in the early 2000 tens and she was from Nepal. And so she came from Nepal and she was. I imagine they were, they landed at SFO and then they had to go to San Pablo and she wrote she said I was disappointed that what I saw wasn't like, TV shows of New York city with all those tall buildings and all that fun stuff, but she took her first Bart ride. And she said that was just so amazing. She had never been on this kind of faster public transportation that brought them from San Francisco to San Pablo and something like 40 minutes. And then she said, she was working really hard. She was like nine years old. And then she became, because her, both her parents were working, I believe in the fast food industry. And she had a younger sister, so she had to learn how to cook for her parents and her. Her sister and even some extended family. And so she said I learned English from like watching, watching the joy of painting with Bob Ross. Wow. Yes. And then she said she watched shows with Rachel Ray and em, Emerald Lagosi like on food network and, and she said like she wanted to become, she learned from those shows. She wanted to become really famous. And so she would do the cooking in like she was on her own food network show in front of the audience. Her younger sister, [00:55:00] Miko Lee: so cute. So cute and shout out to VIN G and bar go, who founded that and also run the Berkeley south Asian radical history walking tour. If you haven't been on that, you should because it's amazing. I am sad to say that this brings our evening to a close. Thank you so much for joining us. I wanna just say that back in the corner, we have the most amazing east wind books, our local bookstore, yay. East wind books. And we didn't touch on one of the questions that I wanted to ask, but about Asian American, the terminology, Asian American Pacific Islander actually. Expressed a whole episode on that interviewing Harvey, Don, who is the founder of east wind books and is a fellow professor of ethnic studies at UC Berkeley. [00:55:49] Cathy Cenzia Choy: And one of the veterans of the strike is also here from the late 1960s both that took place in San Francisco state college as it was then as, as well as UC Berkeley. And that's part of the reason why I have my livelihood and is it part of the legacy? This book is part of that legacy. [00:56:09] Miko Lee: So check out our legacy Asian American history is of the United States by our amazing guest, Kathy Cena Cho, you can get the books and get autographed back in the corner.

The number of successful consumer applications in the web 3 space is still few and far between. Against all odds, Audius, an open source and decentralized music discovery and community platform was somehow able to strike a chord and gain mainstream adoption. They have racked up 7M monthly listeners and 50,000 artists, including heavy hitters like deadmau5, Nas, Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki and many more. So what exactly is Audius and how were they able to gain so much traction? Initially, it looks just like any other web 2 music discovery and streaming product, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. All data on Audius is open source, which means as a developer you can take the music library and build your own unique music application.Beyond that, listener data is open as well, which means that artists can have unfettered access to their fan base and use it like a CRM. They can create fan clubs, share exclusive streams, but more critically, if a platform like Spotify or Soundcloud goes down or changes their algorithms, artists will still be able to have a direct channel to their listeners. Finally, the governance structure of the Audius community is unique and Robust. Audius the startup is just one small piece of the entire ecosystem. There is also an Audius token, which is managed by the Audius Foundation, and stimulates the economic activities and incentives of the ecosystem. Finally, contribution and decision making is all done by the community in a decentralized manner.ABOUT THE GUESTRoneil Rumburg is co-founder and CEO of Audius, a digital streaming service that connects fans directly with artists and exclusive new music. Audius is fully decentralized, owned and run by a vibrant, open-source community of artists, fans, and developers all around the world.

Let me just fucking hit you with the silly. The truth of the matter is, is that Raul, there was a quote from a couple of shows ago where Steve created this image where we were talking about what a Trump looked like naked, like uncooked, triple burger, you know?And then he said that like baby trumps were coming out of his ass. Like those weird videos that old blue eyes shows us. Raul Raul made a fuck. Dude. I put that up on Tik TOK. It got taken down in two seconds. Yeah. And like some of the fans were like here before it took it down, like all this shit, I was fucking late and you see old blue eyes in the back, like the most happy and complete he's ever been by showing us uncomfortable videos.We were like, he was like, With the goal in face, like it was like stolen Joseph Stalin. When he's giving a speech, he was like, when you see somebody experiencing Nirvana, they like almost look trans pride. Yeah. What's real. That's real. That was true. And you were saying it right now, having some of it now, nobody knows what the bad man anyway.And you see how happy. When that dude was looking at you in the fucking. Oh, dude, he was happy that that was, Hey, check this out. Okay. So HLS, he listed some weird inappropriate, maybe a weird feel weird. Sean is the king or maybe even the emperor of the awkward, awkward, right. Am I wrong? Awkward emperor of the awkward you love awkward silence.You love video that just stymies everybody. You like plugged back. Awkward. Damn. You got to have that on a business card. Hey, oh, blue eyes. What is your love of the awkwardness? Like what is that? Because it's not because he also hates people when they're doing something inappropriate public over Christmas.This is awkward. Christmas Merry, awkward, miss. We found is yeah, totally weirdo stuff. No, no, no, listen, no, go ahead, Sean. Explain this. Come on. Oh, you guys are fucking, once you guys start rolling, it's like impossible to stop, right? Didn't he want to bring on the. Sister that were in a sexual relationship or something like that?No, no. I want to get down to this though. I want to get down to this cause I do think it's funny. So wait a second. You do. Okay. So there's two pieces to Sean. If anybody wants to understand old blue eyes, I've been riding with this dude for a minute. Now, the there's two pieces to shot. Number one is. When people do things inappropriately in a social setting, you know, like where like loud jerseys with jagged in the pan, the pants is a different genre than the hat that drives him fucking nuts.Right? Yeah. No, no, no. Why is that driving you nuts? What is it? I, I wouldn't necessarily say the dressing thing, but like definitely. When you aren't paying attention to the social cues of the social structure. Right. And you're getting out of hand or something that, yeah, I know etiquette dude. Yeah. Like when people drive fucking weird, I fucking hate that fucking pisses me off.You're pissed off all day long enough. That just shock you at all. For people that don't understand social cues, like Matt, like painting his nails and shit, but fucking irks the shit too. Right. Your cousin's fucking shower and you've got full choker around your neck and your nails. And you show up with your son looking like that.Rob beat the brakes off, but it wasn't you shower. He really had a choker on.bull, bro. What the fuck is and painting up on? And he's like, oh, this is my son. And why he's born to his son. He sends even looking at him like he's looking at his dad that I got four fucking fucking Tony buddy. Hold on, hold on. So let's put this out on the fucking table. So shine. When he sees motherfuckers fucking up the.Right. That that grinds his gears. Right. He wants to give somebody a poke in the chops when he sees that Alyssa, he wants to almost knock their teeth out. So that drives him nuts. At the same time he revels in showing people disgusting videos that break every taboo you could imagine, and he gets off on it.How do you explain, why do you like, well, first of all, I don't, I don't get off on showing people awkward conundrum, but let's, you know, let's, let's, you know, if you're going to create a new. Then I'll roll with it. No, no, no. Don't push at me bro. Why bullshit? Why did you, you sent me that video of a shrunk dwarfing.I did not send you that video. We watched it when we were fucking used to in the show. I got it from. I learned it by watching you and you send me this by watching you, who is he? Exactly. Who's on he. Fuck not me. Right. Okay. And I might listen. Yes, but I'm not sending it to people so I can watch their fucking oh, okay.So why would, but, but when you saw me and when I told you, like, I can't get the image out of the wheelchair, Jack off, out of my mind, you were having. Don't lie. Why are you lying? But normally when you send a link, you don't really get to see somebody enjoying it so much, so that might've been, but, but you do like to shock people or watch them, their minds just dissemble as they try to take in what you've already seen.Like. Sure now. All right. What's my did then set me straight. Don't do this passive aggressive. I don't know what to say. I mean, yeah. Okay. It's fun. It's fun to watch people, but I don't, it's not like an, an extraordinary thing that I did. That's it? Yeah. So why do you like videos or whatever that break etiquette.You don't like etiquette out in the real world, but then when you watch it and being entertained, you like to watch it videos that like fucking break all rules. I mean, I don't know that I do this guy. I'd never heard of he fucked before Sean. Exactly. Right. I mean, is that wrong? I appreciate it though. Hey, I, I like it.I get it. You know, I like, I like weird shit. I like watching people fucking be horrified. I did a whole standup routine on changing my grandpa's day. That's a true motherfucking story. That's dope. Is it recorded? I told an entire. An entire group was strangers on an open mic, stand up comedy night over at the, in, in fucking Santa Monica, Venice, wherever that is.And I, and I went up with no written material. I said, fuck it. I'm going to go up there. I'm going to do my thing. I go up there. Right. And I'm like, what can I talk about? And I told the true story about my changing my grandpa's diaper when he had ultra. All right. And, and, and like how awkward that was. And I didn't get one, the whole blanket get one left.You could hear a pin drop. Like everybody was verklempt. Like everybody was fucked up and fucking D and I looked in the audience as I was telling the story. And there was some seven year old people in the. And they looked then the thing they were frozen in time, like looking at me like, oh shit, my grandson might tell a story like this about me.But I mean, I told the story really as a public service announcement, I have similar memories. Unfortunately, when you have a grandparent with Alzheimer's, you get some funny stories, like what's one of your funny story short. We took my grandfather and his last trip to sequoias and it had. I didn't really think it through.He, it was past the point where he should have gone on a trip and no, how do you know, give that, give the listener. If they're listening, they got a grandparent that's losing their marbles. What are the points where you're like maybe a trip up to the Sequoia national forest is not a good idea. I think the moment I knew was when we were in a two man.And I'm being woken up in the middle of the night and he's just tapping me on the, on the arm saying PP, PP, PB. And I was like half asleep. I'm like, what the fuck? He's like PP, PP. And I'm like, uh, oh shit. So it's like cold as fuck. You're trying. Everything on his shoes, on whatever I'm unzipping the fucking tent.And he's just laying there flat on his back with his arms, like this, no fucking help. I'm like, oh my God, my grandfather was a big man, lost his mind, but didn't lose his fucking girth. You know, the guy was like a strong dude. Anyways. I fucking finally yanked the guy up and get him. And now at the front of our tent, when we opened.Yeah, there's another tent going like the top of a T with my uncle and his son. Okay. Dude, I get my grandfather and I barely like prop him up. Right. I gotta fucking unzip his pants. I think he pulled out his own fucking, yeah, dude. I'm like turning around to like do something. And as I turn, I see. Uh, stream a rainbow stream of piss, start to go in the air and it's headed right for my uncle and cousins head.And I fucking turn him midstream and it just I'm like, dude, in the morning, I was like, you guys have no fucking idea how close you were to getting a golden shower in the fucking middle of the night. Right. That's when that Gore-Tex comes in handy. Yeah. Got the moisture. That's you know, that was probably right to my home where I know I shouldn't take a dude, my same similar story.Right. And so by this time, my grandpa was like in the old folks home. Okay. Totally lost. His marbles was a golden gloves boxer in Washington. So he was still strong and he was swinging. He called cocked. He called cock king salmon in the back of his head. We were in a car checking them, taking them to a Japanese lunch.Right. Cause he's already getting. And he never liked Japanese food when he was like with his mind. And, but still his children, the boomers were still like, let's take them out to Japanese. Let's go some lunch. Uh, they go king salmon, Schumer, Mohan, drive your grandpa over to the fucking, oh, you know, whatever hibachi grill.So we go get them right now. I don't know if you've ever tried to put someone with Alzheimer's into the back seat of a car. It's easier to put a fucking cat in a boiling pot of why. Leg. It's just, he's grabbing every edge and we're like, whew, every time we get one finger off Criswell finally puts a foot on his ass and just kicks him in the cartoon.No, almost I'll be honest with you and then try to put the seatbelt on him and he's swinging on you while you're chatting. So we sit in the car with, while they get in the back, Matt king salmons in the badges that. Oh, dude, he in a metal box, he, all he sees is a metal box. I'm just not going anywhere with you.You find the Nazis. He's not getting in any metal box anyway. So then, you know, we're sitting here and we're driving to hibachi grill king salmon's in the passenger seat and out of nowhere, like my grandpa. Punches kicks Shami right in the back of the head, like full fist, dude. He goes,what the fuck? And grandpa was laughing. He, his bridge was God. So you had no teeth. And he was like,cheers. Yeah. He had like to, he, wasn't going to take on grandma, grandpa with a mop, the floor with her. We get on the hibachi grill, right. And the fucking boomers, my family, the obese boomers are already ordering this whole bunch of plates, family style, grabbing zoo, look like the clumps part two anyway. So they're like grandpa gets up and he just walks and they're so busy eating that they're like, And then like 20 minutes goes by and they go, Hey, Chu, Mohan, go find out what's going on with your grandpa.So I go walk around this. Nice. And you know, we're talking like, you know how the Japanese folks do it. They got the paper with the sliding doors and the fucking wood and it's all Cedar and stuff like that. I can't find him. I go into the bathroom, I go in the kitchen. I go everywhere. I don't see my grandpa.Right. So I go to the there's this sliding doors for where the bankrupt room is like the big banquet room. I open the door. And grandpa is just piss me like a fire hose, bro. Like, like it was a 12 alarm fire. He's gotten this yellow buttery stream just for and across all the tables, all the folds, the chairs everything's covered in cram pump is, and I'm telling you in two seconds, We gotta get out of here, bro.I fucking, and it got back to the clumps and I'm like, we got to go and they're like, what happened? I'm like he just pissed over half the restaurant. We've got to get the fuck outta here. They were like, check please. So I understand 1000% bro, when you say it it's it's it's it's time to get the old man out of his space.That's yeah. Hey. Yeah. Have you, uh, have you ever had to dealt with deal with old folks and, oh yeah. When I was a kid and I kinda like grew up, my mom used to work in one and I would go to school out there. So like I would spend whole summers at every home. Just chilling. Y you got stories, bro. Wait a second.How old were you when you were chilling at the old folk? Man. It was fired from like first grade, all the way to like fifth grade from like, yeah. So, so like, and so what would you do, like, would you like go around and sip ensure with the old folks and all that? What was the weirdest thing you had? Uh, probably like the TV was like, the issue went once when I was a kid, I would like change the channel on this old lady.Wasn't having it. And she started choking,you know, what's crazy about those old folks homes. It's like an orgy Fest. Right.and they are fucking like nobody's business, bro. Cause there's nothing else going on. But wait a second. Why not? Wait, what? Wait a second. Wait a second. How old are you when an old lady is choking you and what did she want to watch? And what did you want to watch? I had to be at least like five years old.Can you add you're like a dog or something? Can y'all pull him on neck. And what was she trying to watch? Like jeopardy? I had no idea cause I like grabbed the remote and put on the cartoons and that set her off. Oh man. Well, listen talking about old people getting set off and people that maybe should be removed because they've been there over the hill.We probably should get back to Putin and try to do an update on the Ukraine because the old man, right. He's got nuts. Um, I was now listen, just to tell you, I don't even know where to begin with all this. No, Shawn's talking about the orange revolution that talking about fucking fighters going out there.So before we get to all of that, I was doing like reading through. One of the things that I saw is from the Israeli times that the Arion brotherhoods and all of the white supremacists are claiming that this is a Jewish. Think about this, they are telling people that th that the war, the invasion from Russia in the Ukraine is a Jewish plot for whites to kill whites.Dude, leave it up to the Ariens. It always fucking blamed the Jews on everything. It's a Jewish plot. It said, come on, man. David. Right. And you remember like Trump was like, oh man, there's good people on both sides of this thing. I mean, Semites, antisemites, they all have their positives. You wouldn't disavowed David Duke.Oh, I don't know who that is. How can I dispel them? David Duke says that the rich oligarchs in Russia that are Jewish have tricked Putin into attacking the Ukraine to get white people, to attack white. Right. Ukraine is the only country besides Israel that has both a Jewish president and a Jewish prime minister.Right. The only country in the world. Right. Israel. Right. But of course, when you're that dedicated to antisemitism and that ideology, everything is explained by, oh, well it's the Jews fault. Yeah. I'm sure. January 6th was a Jewish plot to course of stealing the election Jewish plot. Right. Absolutely. Right.Letting Kanye come to the white house and wear a maggot hat Jewish. Right, exactly. Kim Kardashian breaking up with him Jewish plot. Yep. Right. So I just I'm reading that and I'm thinking like, how can anybody take that seriously? You, you would think that, but unfortunately, a lot of people do. And most of which reside in this country, um, it's scary, man.How many? I mean, we hear stuff like that and it's like, obvious that it's bullshit and. People believe, man, imagine you're at home. It's the third quarter of a great game that could go any direction and you run out of beer or wine.

And now Putin is saying that the Western sanctions are like a declaration of war.Like he's committed. He's not, he's not giving up. Right. He is not letting go now. So think about that. If you're wondering if we're going to war, if there's a world war three, when Putin says Western sanctions are akin to a declaration of war, he's telling you like it's on. Yeah, I might. The ruble is down to like negative.Right. There are seven banks. The biggest seven banks have been removed from the swift international transfer of money. Shit. So when you hear about people wiring and like, what's the swift number, you can't do that to, or from Russia anymore, right? No money coming in fucking Hermes, fucking Microsoft. All of these major companies stopped doing business with right.Stop. And I would look up any people that have investments out there, man, get your money out of Russia owned companies, because at some point they're doing, they're trying to put in LA Puente is trying to put in laws in place that literally that the state will take over those companies. So if it's like Bitcoin or other things like that, that are based in Russia, whatever companies there are, if he does that your money.Everything gone. Yeah. Your money will be gone. And I think one of the biggest things about money with Russia has been the whole Switzerland thing. Switzerland never fucks with anybody. They have safe Haven for every drug, trafficker, fucking anything. They even gave safe Haven to Hitler. Right. And all the stolen Jewish money.Yeah. Right. Am I wrong? No, that's true. Okay. And, uh, But with Putin, you know, it's been a full world rebuke of this guy. Right. Which now when I'm looking at this whole thing, to me, I'm realizing like, okay, so our CIA, the British MII six or whatever the fuck they're called over there to fucking limey, cock suckers, the Germans, everybody probably were aware that Putin was about to invade and they probably did hash out like, okay, how are we going to deal with this?Are we going to just have a massive. Um, unified front immediately and shut down Russia, or are we going to figure out a way for him to come in Zelinsky? To be able to have a platform to look like a Rocky. Balbo a type a guy who's just on his own with his, his, his tough, passionate country, the underdog fighting against the bully Russia, right.Compared to Winston Churchill, bro. Hey, you know what, for a G listen, they've had three assassination attempts on Zelinsky and they failed in one of the squads that got blown up was a squad that was famous. For having fortresses torture, Dungeons, they cut a head off of one of the dissidents and put it on a fucking metal pipe outside of the village to let people know don't fuck with these Chechens.Like you all fuck with anybody. You won't fuck with us champions. Those dudes got obliterated. Now one of the people said that they are surprised that some of these squads are sort of surprised by how much information Zelinsky. And how up-to-date it is. They are saying that it's eerie. I read a report where some of the, um, people say it's fucking eerie, how much his little administration is kept up to date on where we're at and where we're going.Oh, well, that's our gift. It's gotta be coming from the U S exactly. And the drones. There's a ton of Jones over there. Right. And if you don't know anything about Johns, go to a fucking Joan episode, don't be, I heard somebody fucking saying that. Fuck. That he was put in there by the, by us. He who's, he Zelensky Zelinsky is puppet it's it's, uh, you know, don't look at me, hit me, somebody hit me up and they, they sent me some, some story in there, like that's all fake, bro.They put that guy in there that I'm like was reading this shit. And I'm like, oh, fuck out here. Cause I posted up a couple of posts with them. Um, I'm down with what he's doing. I'm not only am I download what he's doing and it's undeniable, right? That when a country Russia attack the Ukraine unprovoked, you can say all the media conspiracy bullshit.You want, you can chew on the foreskin of fucking Trump if you want. But the truth of it is when you boil it all down, right. Russia. Attack and probably not even rushing people really cause they're being thrown in prisons for protests there. Right. And, and, and, and Putin is put, put together laws that says you're going to jail for 15 years.If you say anything about this invasion that. Yeah, that's real. They're turning off broadcasts in the middle of it. State the state is turning off broadcasts. If they show anything about the pro the protesters, you know, that 80 year old woman that got hit. Yeah. The sunflower, nobody inside Russia, except for the young people that are using social media and kind of getting blocked, but they're controlling internet and everything.They're not letting that clipping shown within the country. I mean, it's like old Soviet block shit. He's trying to turn it back into the U S. Right. And that's why he's an so listen. And so, all right, so you go like, okay. And like it's kind of hip, you know what I mean? Like you get a lot of fuck faces. They think it's cool to like conspiracy theory, everything.But on this one, you really can't explain it. Putin is a dictator. Like he's been in power for 18 years. I don't know which way you want to slice that. It legitimate at that too. But I'm just saying like, you can say whatever you want, we all know what that is, motherfucker. That ain't like a cool dude.That's really cool. And then, and then, and then he invades Ukraine, which, what does he got against the Ukraine? He already invaded and took Crimea, which was part of Ukraine. We let that. Now he's in there and now people want to come by and be like, what about this? What about that? Zielinski is not real mama, mama.And it's like, man, fuck you. Yeah. Seriously, take all that garbage and go home because that's barely like, that's a, that's like, whoa. That's like a surface level understanding in Europe, Europe. Of Russian trolls. Right. And you're the reason why January six probably happened. You idiot. Yeah. So other news from Facebook.Yup. Right. Yup. Right. And so then, okay, so you have that. And the other thing to look at, if you want to help understand maybe like which side of this thing you gotta be on, right. You also want to look like, well, so then who's backing up. Right. We got United States, France, Poland, Germany, like all these, you can say we're fucked up that's and we are on in various ways.Right? Sure. But who's, who's backing up Russia. Who's back. Who's saying to Russia, like, you know what, man, that's all you, what you're doing is justice brother. Who's doing that. If anybody is China. Right. And does anyone have any question? As to like, oh, China's on the side of justice. Like, is it, is it ever like, you're like, well, wait a minute.What are the Chinese think about beacon of justice. Right. And I'm talking about the government, not the people. Okay. But like it, does anyone go, like, what is. Whatever his fucking, whatever his life. Yeah. Right. Fucking what does he think about it? Oh, he thinks it's just, oh, okay. It must be just cause that dude's known for his fairness.You know, they've been barking recently about Taiwan, which is their whole sticking point with the U S and Canada. Well, this is why the us had to be very strategic about how it handled, what was going on in the Ukraine. So, but what's happened is, I mean, even if Putin eventually takes control of you. Putin is out of the world order.They were like running around about three years ago, China and Russia, and running around doing a medic, like a little show, a little pop-up show around the world being like, Marika's the greedy empire. They fucked everybody. And you know what? We're a great alternative. Right, right. That Allah he's an out, they've kicked him out of sports.They've kicked him out of business. They've stolen Russian, uh, they've confiscated Russian oligarch, fucking yacht, super yachts. Right. They've fucking that out in China now is kind of sitting in there. Like, so our partnership with this dude has actually made us look like we're also dictators. True, right?Yeah. But the, the big sticking point is that they still have. Who Russia, why is that a sticking point? Why do you keep referring to that as well? I just think that it's because you deal with countries differently than ha that have nukes. Um, and so that's still appealing to China. Um, even if Putin is off the rails, but, but, but see, this is what people don't understand when they talk about the international dynamics.You're right. And so does China, Chinese got news? Sure. Russia got news. How up to date, they are what our counter systems are, did all that nobody really fucking knows. Right? I mean, for as genius as those two fucking idiots are, they didn't come up with drones. We did with the Jew, with the Jews, we came up with drones, with the Israelis.Okay. So you can go fuck yourself. But the point is, is so all the other things right now, listen, so that is true. But sodas, Britain, sodas, France sodas, right? The issue then is. Because deterrence worked when you thought that that was the ultimate war, right? So since deterrence got in place, the United States has been working very hard to be like, okay, what else can we do to a country?That, that is a part from nuclear disaster that has ruined us. The first thing we did was standardized and unified the banking systems. Right? So you can actually tell Russia banks, like, yeah, I'm sorry, your shit don't work anymore. Good luck jackass. And the other part of it is that's interesting is, is that, um, is that, uh, you starting to see some interesting war tech coming out of this conflict or this invasion let's call it, I'm calling it invasion.One of the things is Putin's got these things that are called robo balls, robo ball. And what they are, is there like the fucking star wars, that little orange droid, that's not as cool as R2D2, but whatever. Right. And it rolls around. They have that for war. And it's about the size of a fucking, I don't know what that is.Like half of a volleyball and it's covered with. And it can withstand temperatures of like super hot, super cold. And what they do is they throw this ball into an urban combat zone and from like 150 yards away or 150 feet away, or whatever football field away. Uh, guys can see in here in 360 as to what's going on and it's, self-propelled the ball so they can roll around corners.And so now Russia's got these little fucking robot balls rolling all around through the streets, doing recon and trying to see where the fucking, um, w the, the rebel, well, they're going to need it because the people in Ukraine have really they're planning for. Urban warfare, seizure type shit, where they are going to be able to fight back for a while they may lose.But it's the same bullshit that the U S dealt with in Iraq and Afghanistan. They fucking bunkered, you know, they hunkered down and they're going to make it, make it tough on Russia. Right. And I'll tell you nothing, man. France sent an aircraft carrier into the area to start controlling the airspace in.Really think about that. So, you know, these, these are like NATO allies that are starting to put pieces in place to draw the war out because the west knows the longer Putin, it takes Putin to fucking get control of this situation. The more of a fucking incompetent shit head he looks like, and he's already blown it.He's already blown it. If he's going on state media to say that, oh, the timeline is where it's right in line, you know, then, you know, whatever he's actually takes the time to say, you know, it's bullshit, you know, already he looks incompetent and it also looks like he didn't do the military planning quite regular.He's he's more like Hitler towards the end where he's like, I don't give a shit if Russia's frozen, just send it. Yeah. Spends too much time at that long fucking table that he loves. And I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you this, uh, the, the longer it goes in the United States and the Western powers know just how to weed it out.They sent that giant fucking column of mechanized vehicles and tanks and all the other shit. It was all in one line. All the Yukon GRU Crimeans had to do was fucking blow up a couple of those things. And now you got a traffic jam and they do they're bogged down the kid do shit. And then on another, on another thing I was looking at.American veterans think about this American veterans who've like served two tours in Iraq are showing up in Ukraine to fight. We should have, we should have had Danny dark 30 on this motherfucker to con talk about like, dude, I was there any chance you're going over there to fucking lend assistance. I think about it.Those guys that get out of the military that like, haven't, they they've never left. Right. Even though they're home, they've never left their mind, but they're at, they don't want to go in the military. You can go and get it in real life war games and not have to deal with. The U S military or taking orders like that.It's it's crazy. I saw a story last night on CNN and there were six people in Poland, just getting ready to cross over the Poland Ukraine border to go fight for Ukraine. And, uh, literally Zelinski has given press conferences like, Hey, come on right now. I think about, think about that. Now. Zelenskyi is an interesting dude because he's a comedian and he won the Ukrainian day with stars.He also was on the Ukrainian version. Hey, he was on the Ukrainian version of the west wing to play the president on TV. Right. The guy's a fucking, so he's perfect. And this is probably what lends some conspiracy theorists to be like. But listen, before you go there, just remember we also had a reality TV president.Okay. Before you act like this was all invented by the west, just remember Trump was his own fucking reality thing. And instead of. Trump winning reelection and using a celebrity and all that stuff to make himself look good. He basically fucking shit the bed and spread the pandemic on everybody. And then couldn't get reelected and then lost every bug in court battle with fucking crazy Giuliani out in the front bugging with bogus lawsuits in hair gel, and the whole walking thing is cited.It's a fucking site. So, so that's one way a TV president acts is he just fucking fucks himself in publicly. And the other way a TV president acts is like in the Ukraine where you stay, where the battle is. You stayed, inspire. The people use the tools that you got to. I mean, how's the guy doing press conferences.He's got the most evil armed fucking dude from the kg, me trying to hunt his ass down and he's getting on public spaces and he's sitting there and yeah. I don't know where he's at one time, I thought he was at the bottom of a BevMo in fucking the Ukraine or something. I don't know what he's doing, but he has, he stayed here.Did you see the guy walked into the press conference, carrying his own chair now that's night, not a huge deal. But he is a president of a fucking country and he comes in, brings his own metal folding chairs in front of reporters, five feet away. He thought it was an AA meeting, taking questions. And, you know, he's got the green fatigue that he put on like day one of the siege.And he's also fucking, you know, he hasn't shaved, you know, Eastern Europe, fucking, you know, chin beard. I mean, he looks like Rocky for when he's up in Siberia, working out, he's probably got like a picture of Putin on a fucking mirror. And he's probably like looking at it every morning and like getting all amped up, dude, he's probably got Apollo creed over there helping him fucking work out.The thing about this thing is, is, and some people will say this, right? They'll say like, well, wait a second. I mean, the guy's a fucking actor, so, you know, I know. And the thing of it is is I go, I say this to him. I go, I think this I go what's he got at his district. Right. He's got world opinion. He can do that.He doesn't have all the fucking shit that Putin see, Poons not likable because he's got a bunch of fucking killing machines. Right. Zelinsky has got to play the likable guy. Cause that's, that's all these guys. And so I guarantee you that he was probably off camera and they're like, look, man, uh, let me read your eyes up a little bit.You got to look like you've been up all night worried about the Ukrainian people. Right. And he's like, right. And I'm all for that. I'm like, fuck it. Go. Yeah, button get out there. Like they should do an interview where he's like Mr. T from Rocky three rights, still hungry. This is what it is. Fucking Salinsky is still hungry.He's doing welcome. Pull-ups in a fucking rusted basement, right. And just say, getting ready for the lien for the war. And Putin is like doing photo ops with a bear with his shirt off on a fucking horseback with a bow and arrow and doing G like doing judo, but like with a guy, you know, is supposed to lose.Right. Can you imagine the guy. The spar with Putin during Judah, you know, you're like, Hey man, if you touch me, I'm just falling down. Right. Cause I don't want to go to the prison and get my balls shocked by your friends. And they kicked him out of the judo international president. They took away his about to like, alright, motherfucker out.You're not captain judo anymore. I had a bad week. Listen, and you're right. And we're not saying that to make light of the true struggles of the Ukrainians. And I'm saying that just so that you guys realize that we know it's a serious situation, but this fucking show you're right. It hasn't gone well for that fucker at all.If there's anybody that you thought would fucking know how to fucking go in and quickly snap the neck of the leaders and take over country, it was Putin. Sure. That was his brand. He was walking around swagger. Yeah. He was like, Hey, I know I got a big moon face and everything, but I fucking kill you. I know my skin looks like it's coated in butter and shit like that, but guess what?You don't fuck with me. Cause I was in the KGB and I'll fucking kill you with some weird poison like this like that. And then he can't even handle Ukraine. Yeah. It's um, it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out, man. It's um, I think it's gonna, it's gonna be a slug Fest, maybe a slug Fest. What do you think about, yeah.Give us your predictions. Road, war, world war three. You've got some facial hair like Zelinsky. Now I can see you've been up late at night. Worried about the Ukrainian people. Uh, what do you say? Uh, my friend, I think that we're seeing like, uh, the fall of food and cause everyone's like the, the whole opinions against.It's kinda like, just reminds of the story, like good David versus Goliath, maybe train small, but they're putting up a fight, bro. And even if they, if the Russians get in, like the people aren't just gonna like give up, they don't, they, they straight up don't want them there. There's going to be urban warfare.Right. And guess what, when Russia, just like you said, I'm willing to Raul on this one and he might not, he has to take Ukraine now. There's no, he couldn't camp back. The minute he backs out, his leadership is going to fucking. 'cause they're going to be like, well, you're a weak motherfucker. So I guess you got to go.And there's people in the FSB, which is the Russian new KGB that are letting out information that they're, they're not entirely on board with this fucking fuck up. Well, that may be a way for this thing to end in a way for peace to happen. That if it is the fall of Putin and they find a way Russia replaces him with an opposition, uh, You know, an opposition politician.And that could be a way if this thing goes on for a long time, it's possible that that happens. But, uh, it's going to be interesting to see man indefinitely. Fuck Russia or for now, you know what? Fuck Putin. Fuck the Russian military. Fuck not. And listen. And I, I'm not even, I'm not necessarily going to even say fuck the Russian military, because you have a cake orders.You get put in the situations where you're like, fuck. And I read reports where half of them thought they were just doing training drills. Right. They didn't know that they were going to do that. And you see all these fucking Russians that are like surrendering. You know what I don't like in a fucking, this is insane.I don't need this. Like, what am I doing? I'm trying to fucking win at fucking Paju and shit. I don't need this shit. You see what the Ukrainian, um, representative to United nations read that, uh, Yeah. He read a text message from a Russian soldier that was like crying, saying, mama, I'm not going to feel like we don't have food.We don't have water. Did you see Zelenskyi speech to the, to the, you do the European muni ovation. Now he gives this speech, right? And he's like, , it's kind of like the end of Rocky for I'm going to knock louder. And then the translator is like, and I'm standing strong for the Ukrainian people. And if I die here, this is Micah and the translator starts crying.He trying to translate Zelinsky his message. And that just shows you that, that, that, that nobody wants this. Nobody wants this except except one man wants this and for what? And he attacked, um, another dude, I didn't realize there was so many goddamn nuclear plants in fucking Ukraine. The other nuclear plant that they took over that caught fire.Yeah, that was scary. Is the like eighth or ninth largest nuclear power plant in Europe. And it caught fire, but it didn't catch fire to anywhere. And the guy said, this is not going to be like Chernobyl because he said there's containments that are set up. So even if they hit it with a fucking Misael, it's not even there will be no radiation leak.And now it's back up and running and fine, but it's kind of crazy. It's another bad look in a line of bad looks for Putin this week. Right. So it's. Yeah, it's really crazy and scary. Right? So now, uh, Raul, um, my friend. My, uh, my brother, my brother in arms. Um, why don't you give us, what is your thought? Like, what is some of your favorite shows?Um, you know, just give us, it doesn't have to be the number one, but what are some of the ones you like?

My guest today is Roneil Rumburg, Co-Founder and CEO of Audius. Audius is the first decentralized, community-owned, and artist controlled music-sharing platform designed to help up-and-coming artists publish their work and connect directly with fans. Created by a platinum-selling pop artist and tech entrepreneur, Audius provides a blockchain-based alternative to SoundCloud to help artists connect directly with fans and monetize their work. The Audius protocol will live forever, owned and operated by a fully decentralized community of artists, developers and listeners collaborating to defend the world's music. Prior to founding Audius, Roneil most recently co-founded Kleiner Perkins' early-stage seed fund. At KP, he was responsible for seed investments into Blockchain and AI companies, including Lightning Labs. Roneil attended Stanford University and previously co-founded a Bitcoin peer to peer payment company called Backslash. He's also held software engineering roles at a number of venture-backed Silicon Valley companies. This was one of my favorite discussions I've had recently. Roneil has a wealth of knowledge about everything from Web3 to software infrastructure to Bitcoin. If you're interested in the creator economy and the future of Web3 do yourself a favor and listen to this discussion. A few of the high level topics we discussed included Audius, the creator economy and Web3, the applications of IPFS, Bitcoin's role in the global monetary system, and much more. We begin our conversation by discussing Audius. We discuss how Audius is disrupting the music industry by giving creators the ability to control their relationship with their fans and enabling artists to capture a larger portion of the value they create. We discuss the problems with the current relationship between the traditional music industry and artists. Another major discussion topic of our conversation is how Audius is enabling artists to experiment, for example by hardcoding certain parameters to be able to listen to a track. We also touch on how platforms like Audius will allow for more granular data so that artists and creators can have a deeper understanding of their audience that was not possible with the traditional tech stack currently available. We transition the topic of the conversation to discuss how Audius is striving to be as decentralized as possible and why that is a core principle for Audius. Roneil does an excellent job at explaining the value proposition of decentralized platforms and why having decentralized systems is vital to create a more inclusive world. Our conversation transitions to discuss the technology of IPFS and why IPFS is so revolutionary. Roneil discusses the differences between audio and video at a technical level and the different kinds of applications he envisions utilizing IPFS. We also discuss Bitcoin and its role within the broader global monetary landscape. We discuss why Bitcoin's stability is so important to the integrity of crypto. Roneil eloquently explains why Bitcoin is the perfect hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. The last major discussion topic of our conversation was the possible future impact of Web3 on the creator economy and how Audius is building tools to help onboard non-crypto native participants. Roneil stresses the importance of providing a suite of different services depending on the sophistication of the user and as the user becomes more adept at navigating the Web3 landscape the platform suggests different tools to the user. We also discuss how Web3 will strengthen the connection between the creator and fan. Roneil does an excellent job at elaborating the possible second order consequences of this stronger connection.

“Odonchimeg Davaadorj”Phusisà la galerie Backslash, Parisdu 13 mars au 17 avril 2021Interview de Odonchimeg Davaadorj,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, enregistrement réalisé par téléphone, entre Paris et la région parisienne, le 30 mars 2021, durée 24'34, © FranceFineArt.Extrait du communiqué de presse :Le travail d'Odonchimeg Davaadorj s'exprime à travers plusieurs pratiques et gestes plastiques qui s'axent autour du même intérêt de l'artiste pour son environnement direct. Qu'ils soient issus de sa première vie rurale, dans sa Mongolie natale, ou aujourd'hui de sa vie inscrite au sein d'une ville occidentale, ces environnements, car ils sont bien multiples, sont autant de lieux d'exploration et d'études qui nourrissent son oeuvre.Pour sa seconde exposition à Backslash, une grande installation, caractéristique de son travail, relie les personnages d'abord à leur environnement, par des fls de couture, mais également entre eux. Telle une formule liminaire, elle annonce les notions de communauté et de partage, prégnantes dans cette nouvelle exposition.Ensuite viennent les peintures qui révèlent une nouvelle approche plastique. Plusieurs portraits composent une humanité mixte et cosmopolite. Ces personnages sont intrinsèquement liés à la nature, aux êtres vivants. Davaadorj représente l'organique et le végétal à l'unisson avec les humains. Elle décrit son travail comme parfaitement conscient des problématiques de notre époque. La jeunesse, les problèmes écologiques ou encore le féminisme sont au coeur de ses oeuvres.Davaadorj revendique le vivant comme « au centre de toutes (s)es créations ». Elle conçoit ainsi pour Backslash un espace d'échange et de mouvement. L'exposition ne sera pas statique pour autant et évoluera de plusieurs façons pendant sa durée. Davaadorj rejette ici la notion fgée d'un espace-temps fxe. Notamment à travers des carnets dessinés dont les pages se tourneront au fl des jours, la scénographie mouvante de ses installations contribue à cette idée de mouvement.Ici, Davaadorj privilégie le rapport à l'autre, l'investissement et l'échange entre artiste et public. Ainsi, elle propose des actions qui privilégient des modes de relation généreux, avec des soins ou des attentions portés au visiteur. Des lectures de poésie, des massages des mains, des discussions privatisées ou encore des partages à l'heure du thé, jalonneront les samedis de l'exposition. Par sa volonté d'échange avec le public à travers cette série de petites interactivités, Davaadorj souligne l'aspect communautaire de son art. Comme celle qui ouvre l'exposition, ces « conversations » mettent en exergue l'harmonie collective nécessaire à nos sociétés.Touchée par une sensibilité profonde, l'artiste explique : « Je veux créer un lien qui dure au-delà de la seule journée du vernissage. Quel intérêt de présenter des oeuvres fgées, sacralisées, et de transformer un lieu d'exposition en sanctuaire ? » ** interview in Point contemporain #20 (mars-avril-mai 2021).
