Even today, it is nearly unheard of for a woman to break into the still largely white male-dominated music industry and rise the ranks to run a label or artist management company. And the amount of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women at the top is even smaller. Despite all odds, that's exactly what Wendy Ong, Global Co-President / Chief Marketing Officer of artist and management company TaP Music did.  Wendy knows the importance of sharing her story. She has decades of experience working for major labels, including BMG, Arista, Capitol, and Roc Nation, and has helped put artists like OutKast and Dua Lipa (along with many others) on the global stage. However, as a young Asian woman from Signgapore, new to America without any contacts or knowledge of American culture, Wendy had to hustle her way in and frequently encountered difficult challenges that left her in tears. Due to her experiences, Wendy strives to be a mentor for AAPI music executives that she never had. Finding her home at TaP music, Wendy now manages some of the top solo female artists in music today as she understands the unique challenges women in the music industry face.

Wong, we discuss:  - Why therapy is important, especially in Asian American Pacific Islander communities where it's often considered taboo. - How there's been an increased need for mental health support because of 45's presidency that has emboldened White Supremacists. - How generational trauma and internalized racism has impacted Asian American Pacific Islander communities, many of these were a direct result of the United State's involvement in war and colonialism.   - With the rise in Anti-Asian hate, what factors to consider for risk, cost, benefit analysis when making decisions, such as going to community events.   - How to make therapy more inclusive, especially when the industry is predominantly White, by using lived experiences and cultural humility, not just cultural competency. - The importance of being shameless about shooting your shot and letting go of the humble Asian mentality.   - What Dr. Stephanie did to connect with folks like Margaret Cho and the cast from the Partner Track and Bling Empire for her podcast, Color of Success.     Learn more about Dr. Stephanie J.

“Because there were so few people who looked like me in my business throughout my career, I've been so cautious about drawing attention to my ethnicity, to my gender. To bring these issues to the fore has been very uncomfortable, but necessary. I hope that I've inspired people in my own community to no longer be content to sit on the sidelines. It's been an incredible experience to see this community come together.” Lisa Ling is a beloved and gifted journalist and TV star. Since the age of 18, she has traveled the world as a reporter. Lisa's reporting always gets to the human heart of the stories she uncovers. She is a bright star within the Asian American community. But in the wake of COVID-19 – as violent attacks and other racist activity against Asian-Americans skyrocketed – she stepped up into an even more powerful and visible role. This week, Van and Lisa talk about the impact of anti-Asian racism and how the Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) community has come together. They bond over the often overlooked but rich history of solidarity between Asian and African Americans in the United States. Tune in to hear what true solidarity sounds like, how we can come together in times of violence, and why it's so important that we recognize our shared goals. #StopAsianHate New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.

At Jackson Walker, we are extremely proud of our Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) attorneys and allied professionals who have brought leadership and helped shape the Firm into what it is today. As May marks AAPI Heritage Month, our partners Shari Mao and Sang Shin shared how their upbringings shaped their careers. Shari, a Corporate & Securities partner in San Antonio, reflected on her experience growing up with one foot in the U.S. and another in Taiwan. She also shared her unconventional path to practicing law, starting out on Wall Street before helping run—and eventually sell—her family's business. Sang, a Business Immigration & Compliance partner in Houston, walked through his family's experience emigrating from South Korea and the struggles he observed as his parents worked their way through the immigration system, which inspired him to start his own immigration practice. We all have individual and shared experiences in our lives which shape our heritage and cultures. At Jackson Walker, we are proud to have leaders like Shari Mao and Sang Shin who enrich the Firm's culture by sharing their stories and experiences with us.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and hate in the United States and around the world. The past few years have seen a very troubling rise in hate against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in the United States, and ADL has played a very strong allyship role in fighting against this hate. At the forefront of these efforts is Max Sevillia, ADL's Vice President for Government Relations, Advocacy and Community Engagement. In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, Max was the guest on this show which discussed the scope of the issue, the reasons for this rise in hate, and the ways that ADL has worked with the AAPI community to combat it. Mentioned on the show were educational resources developed by ADL in response to AAPI hate and in celebration of AAPI Heritage Month. Those can be found at this link: https://www.adl.org/education/resources/tools-and-strategies/asian-american-pacific-islander-aapi-heritage-month.

Officer Ni was born in Oakland, California but spent most of his childhood in Taipei. Captain Bryngelson sat down with Ni to talk about his background, his community connections, and the many reasons why he's uniquely suited to bridge the gap between members of the local AAPI community and the Boise Police Department.

May 1, 2022 - A great deal of stigma remains on conversations regarding mental health. Among Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, the issue is often shrouded by silence and shame, allowing misconceptions and minimization of mental health concerns. Amid historic levels of anti-Asian violence, it is crucial to recognize the intergenerational trauma from immigration and racism and share stories that show the fullness of the AAPI experience in order to educate and form alliances. Join us for an illuminating conversation with Dr. Shinhee Han, psychotherapist and co-author of Racial Melancholia, Racial Dissociation: On the Social and Psychic Lives of Asian Americans, and journalist Heidi Shin.

Ben and Matt talk with Rev. Sue Park-Hur about the challenges facing the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. They discuss the model-minority myth, the rise in hate crimes against the AAPI community and reflect on the 30th anniversary of the LA Uprising.  Resources https://stopaapihate.org https://thecrg.org/resources/Asian_American_Christian_Collaborative https://thecrg.org/resources/Honoring_the_Generations_Learning_with_Asian_North_American_Congregations Propaganda: "Three Cord Bond" from the album Crimson Cord

Stigma and cultural practices in Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities play a significant role in help seeking behavior in the face of mental health crises. This training will help mental health providers better recognize the various factors that may give rise to the challenges in crisis intervention work, with consideration to some of the complexities between age, inter-generational differences, and ethnic groups. Providers will be able to identify and share resources and practices that may better serve the needs of AAPI clients and families, while reflecting on the impact of crises on both the client and the provider.

As the one-year anniversary of the Atlanta spa shootings approaches, host Dan Skinner talks with Sharon Kim and Rebecca Nelson of OPAWL, a grassroots member-led community that organizes for social justice and elevates the voices, visibility, and progressive leadership of Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women and nonbinary people in Ohio. Dan, Sharon, and Rebecca discuss alarming increases in anti-Asian bias, discrimination, and violence and policies and initiatives to reduce such incidents.

Culturally informed care refers to the capacity to provide quality informed interventions that acknowledges, honors, and integrates clients' historical experiences, cultural values, beliefs and practices. This training will provide information on how reactions to trauma and mental health presentations vary across Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) cultures. We will delve deeper into culturally sensitive care and the importance of tailoring assessment questions to better understand how culture creates meaning and can be used as a roadmap to setting positive expectations with regard to treatment.

Xenophobia and bigotry against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community are on the rise in cities throughout the country, including Seattle. With nearly 4,000 hate crimes reported in the last 12 months, this trajectory became impossible to ignore when six Asian women were killed in a shooting in Atlanta. Why did this happen? What were the stepping stones that led to this increase in violence? Could those stepping stones have been influenced by a president who used bigoted and racist language in reference to a global health crisis? In the third installment of Seattle University's “The Conversations,” we hear from former U.S. ambassador to China and former Washington Governor Gary Locke, CEO of Treehouse Lisa Chin, and interim Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz. Journalist Joni Balter and Dr. Larry Hubbell, longtime previous director of the Seattle University Institute of Public Service, moderate an honest discussion with Locke, Chin, and Diaz about the possible causes of this disturbing trend—and offer suggestions on how we can make change around a problem that has a long legacy of harming our communities. With student questions led by Asian Studies Program Director Dr. Yitan Li, you won't want to miss this essential and urgent conversation. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Seattle University Institute of Public Service.

Xenophobia and violence against the Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community has risen during the pandemic. Over 7,000 attacks against individuals in the community were reported by stopaapihate.org. Chris speaks to Vivian Nguyen about the importance of allyship in these tough times.

As part of MoFo’s effort to commemorate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, our Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Natalie Kernisant welcomes California Assemblyman David Chiu and MoFo Litigation Partner Bonnie Lau to the podcast to take a hard look at the recent rise in anti-Asian discrimination and how misinformation, fear, and racist political rhetoric tied to COVID-19’s origins in China have fueled hate and violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities across the country. They also explore America’s long history of anti-Asian hate and discrimination, the relationship between the AAPI community and other marginalized communities in this country, the need for broad based, community-led public safety initiatives, and how these issues affect members of the AAPI community in the professional space.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/LUsWpoezfpY On March 21, just days after eight people, including six women of Asian descent, were killed in the Atlanta-area shootings, thousands gathered at Columbus Park in Manhattan for a rally against anti-Asian violence. Activists took turns addressing the surge in hate crimes and hate incidents toward the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, when an 8-year-old stepped onto the stage.

The month of May is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. Our time together all this month will be focused on conversations about AAPI experiences to raise our awareness so that we can serve students, adult leaders, and people in our communities well.

In a matter of weeks, hospitals around the city reached capacity and quickly ran out of personal protective equipment (PPE).  At a time when so many New Yorkers felt hopeless, New York native and tech entrepreneur Ben Wei found the courage to act. Now, one year later, he’s on another mission to help others; this time, to unite the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in the fight against hate, racism, and systemic injustice.

We decided to cover stories that highlight the marginalized populations that were attacked in the recently resurfaced tweets by Taylor Nolan. This week, we focus on the Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. Danielle tells the story of the murder of Gerlie Alpajora in the Camarines Sur province, located in the Philippines. Gerlie was assassinated because of her advocacy work targeting illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing in the area. Gerlie’s murder also brought light to the disappearance of Keith Davis, both highlighted in the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy. The documentary is about the environmental impact of industrialized fishing directed by and starring Ali Tabrizi. The film features human impacts on marine life and the human rights violations that surround the fishing industry.

The anti-Asian hate occurring across the US is finally shining a light on what has been a long history of oppressive and discriminatory narratives about the AAPI community. We speak with Jaimie Woo, Emmy-nominated creative producer, New York Times best-selling author, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consultant, about the dominant narratives that have persisted around Asians and Asian Americans, how activists like herself are working to reframe and deconstruct those narratives, and Hollywood's role in this work.

Air Date 3/31/2021 Today we take a look at the history of anti-Asian hate in America dating back to the very first racially discriminatory immigration law, the ramifications of our imperial exploits in the Philippines, the pattern of lynchings, the myth of the "model minority" and the role of White Supremacy to keep everyone in their roles and White people ignorant of it all.

We return to Spider-Man The Animated Series and Venom with our guest, filmmaker Jon Lee Brody! We discuss the classic "Alien Costume" storyline, how good the introduction of Venom and Eddie Brock is in the first major animated Marvel universe, and overall why this arc was so much better than Spider-Man 3. But before that, we discuss the endemic of xenophobia, hatred, and attacks against Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in the US and what we can all do to stop it. We also discuss Spider-Man No Way Home wrapping its filming, discuss the various ins and outs of working in Hollywood with Jon, and much more!   We are a proud member of the But Why Tho?

The Mental Health Costs Of ‘Everyday’ Racism On March 16, a 21-year-old white man killed six Asian women and two other people in multiple shootings in Atlanta. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Asians and Asian-Americans in the U.S. have experienced a rise in racist attacks, which psychologists say are tied to anti-Chinese rhetoric from the former White House administration, as well as others who have scapegoated Asian Americans. The Stop AAPI Hate reporting center was created in March of 2020 to track these events. The project is a collaboration between the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council, Chinese for Affirmative Action, and San Francisco State University’s Asian American Studies Department. The center reports that more than 3,700 acts of hate were brought to their attention between their founding and February 28 of this year, including verbal harassment or shunning, physical assault, and civil rights violations. At the same time, people who identify as Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) have increasingly reported symptoms of anxiety or depression, or requested screenings for mental health diagnoses. Charissa Cheah, a professor of psychology at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County has found that even witnessing acts of hate or discrimination can affect someone’s mental health—and spill over to their children. And Kevin Nadal, a psychology researcher at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, has documented how microaggressions, considered a more covert form of racism than physical violence, can cause trauma. Cheah and Nadal discuss the connection between chronic exposure to racist behavior and mental health, along with resources for people who may be experiencing the effects of trauma, as well as the long history of anti-Asian racism in the United States.   To Milk A Tick Ticks are masters of breaking down the defenses of their host organism to get a blood meal. They use anesthetics to numb the skin, anticoagulants to keep the blood flowing, and keep the host’s immune system from recognizing them as invaders and kicking them out. And the key to understanding this is in the tick’s saliva. Biochemist and microbiologist Seemay Chou discusses how she milks the saliva from ticks to study what compounds play key parts in these chemical tricks. She also talks about how ticks are able to control the microbes in their saliva.   A Year Of Staying Home Has Led To A Global Chip Crisis The global pandemic has led to a different kind of worldwide crisis: a global chip shortage. Demand for semiconductor chips—the brains behind “smart” devices like TV’s, refrigerators, cars, dishwashers and gaming systems—has spiked after a year of staying and working from home. And the pressure on global supply chains has never been greater. Sarah Zhang, staff writer at The Atlantic, joins Science Friday to explain what happened. Plus, why AstraZeneca came under fire from U.S. regulators this week and how one scientist has finally solved a 20-years-long mystery about the bald eagle.

For months there has been a notable uptick in acts of violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in the US. The recent mass shooting targeting women of Asian descent in Atlanta was horrific in and of itself, but it also came on the heals of a year rife with verbal and physical assaults against Asian Americans across the country. On this episode of All Things I invite two friends in my community and church to share their stories as Asian American women. We talk about the long history of anti-Asian sentiments, crimes, and laws in the US, the things my friends experienced growing up Asian in predominantly white spaces, the increase in micro-aggressions and anxiety that they and other AAPIs have been experiencing since the start of the pandemic, the otherization/fetishization of women of Asian descent, and so much more. This topic is huge and varied, as is the AAPI community. While we only just barely scratched the surface in this episode, my hope is that listeners will be able to pause, hear these stories, believe them, and respond with empathy. I am deeply indebted to Miryam and Esther for taking a risk and sharing their voices with the All Things community. They are dear to me and taught me much during our 40-minute conversation.

In the past year, we have seen an increase in anti-Asian hate crimes. Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities have been blamed for the COVID-19 pandemic. Many have experienced injustice through verbal/online harassment, physical assault, and vandalism. AAPI communities fear for their lives every day. In the U.S., we have a failed system that allows racism and domestic terrorism to continue. As we move forward, we must reflect on our history and take steps to counter hate crimes & harmful extremist ideologies. Each of us can do more.   Find more episodes at https://truthlines.com/podcasts/ and visit https://truthlines.com/

The shootings in Georgia earlier this week that left eight people dead have refocused the country’s attention on hate crimes against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. A House committee held hearings on discrimination against Asian Americans today. Blake Chow, deputy chief with the Los Angeles Police Department and its AAPI community liaison, tells KCRW there was a 114% increase in hate crime incidents in 2020, and many occurrences are going underreported right now.  Manjusha Kulkarni, co-founder of the group Stop AAPI Hate, highlights the LA Versus Hate program. Via phone or online, people can report a hate incident they’ve experienced, and then receive direct support and case management. “It's not only for the Asian American community, but any marginalized community that feels that they have experienced discrimination. That includes our African American and Latinx communities, Jewish communities, as well as LGBTQ,” she says.  What’s also needed to tackle these crimes? Stronger civil rights laws and enforcement, Kulkarni says.

When some politicians and media members began referring to COVID-19 as the “China virus” in the spring of 2020, they shattered the Model Minority Myth. Seemingly overnight, Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities experienced a rise in racially-motivated violence and aggressive verbal confrontations from people who had taken the bait and were blaming AAPI folks for the spread of the virus. In this XL episode, Ron Rapatalo (Principal at Edgility Consulting) joins Jonathan and Doc in a wide-ranging conversation about the Model Minority Myth, what it takes to build power across lines of difference, and what it means to be a true equity warrior.

The coronovirus pandemic has led to a rise in reported xenophobic and racist attacks on members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Today, we continue our discussion on how incidents of hate crimes against the AAPI community are up, as is fear within the community that firearms will be used against them. To talk about the duel threats of xenophobia and guns to the AAPI community, host JJ and Kelly Sampson are joined by Dr. Russel Jeung, Chair and Professor of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University. Together, we discuss why rhetoric and guns has the potential to be just as--if not more so--dangerous than a virus.

One of the disturbing responses to the COVID-19 pandemic as been xenophobic and racist attacks on members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Incidents of hate crimes have created an atmosphere of discrimination and fear. As a result, many media outlets have reported on members of the AAPI community purchasing firearms.To talk about the threat xenophobia, and these firearms, pose to the AAPI community, host JJ and Kelly Sampson are joined by David Inoue of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). Together, we discuss why guns are not the solution to COVID-19 related hate crimes.Mentioned in this podcast:COVID-19 and Xenophobia (JACL)The Murder of Vincent Chin (ABC)Stop AAPI Hate (A3PCON)Blaming the Victim During a Time of Vulnerability (Washington Post)For more information on Brady, follow us on social @Bradybuzz, or via our website at bradyunited.org.

When discussing educational equity for minoritized racial and ethnic groups, many advocates tend to focus on non-Asian students of color. The Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) category is a massive catch-all demographic that includes groups from Far East Asia, South East Asia, South Asia, and even the Arabian Peninsula. Failure to properly understand the diversity within this group and different experiences would be a tremendous mistake. Dr. Lan Kolano, an education professor at University of North Carolina at Charlotte and Cat Bao Le of the South East Asian Coalition (or SEAC Village) join the program to talk about the misconceptions about AAPIs, the multifaceted nature of racism, and need to center immigrant experiences in racial equity. You can learn more about SEAC Village and their work by clicking on this link.

He is on the National Advisory Committee for the U.S. Census Bureau.   As one of the preeminent social scientists who study the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, Professor Taeku Lee points out that although Asian Americans will be the largest immigrant group by 2050, we can't wait around until then to make sure that Asian Americans are engaged and represented within the democratic process-- especially with the upcoming 2020 U.S. presidential election and census.   From the bimodal divide between the professional and working class the labor skills mismatch to the political leanings and mobilization of Korean Americans, Taeku shares his insights on demographic trends within the Korean and Asian American community and the importance of data and civic participation.   One thing Professor Taeku Lee tells all of his students: Don't think of democracy as a noun but as a verb. Not a stagnant idea to take for granted but an action we must continually nurture and participate in-- a way of life.

Ivan Zapien, partner in the Government Relations and Public Affairs practice chats with Brenda Gianiny, president at Axis Research, Inc. and Madalene Mielke CEO and President at Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) on the Republican women as well as the growing influence of the Asian Pacific community in politics.

We are honored to be releasing a 3-episode special feature with SEARAC, also known as the Southeast Asian Resource Action Center. “SEARAC is a national civil rights organization that empowers Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese American communities to create a socially just and equitable society. As representatives of the largest refugee community ever resettled in the United States, SEARAC stands together with other refugee communities, communities of color, and social justice movements in pursuit of social equity.” Each month from October to December 2018, Project Voice will be releasing an episode that highlights an important social justice issue that SEARAC is fighting for on behalf of Southeast Asian American families, students, and elders. This month, our topic of discussion will be on our current government’s immigration policies. Oftentimes, the fight for immigrant justice does not uplift or highlight the behind the scenes organizing anchored by the wives, sisters, and community members of those facing deportation, today we are going to have SEARAC share a new resource created by and for families who have been directly impacted by unjust deportation policies.  Particularly, this toolkit centers around the experience of the #ReleaseMN8 campaign in its rise to prominence since its creation in 2016. Katrina, SEARAC’s Director of National Policy, will be imparting us valuable findings from the Southeast Asian American Solidarity Toolkit: A Guide to Resisting Deportations and Detentions from The #ReleaseMN8 Campaign. What is “#ReleaseMN8”? “In August 2016, the families and supporters of eight Cambodian American men in Minnesota—collectively known as the MN8—decided to organize a campaign to fight the sudden detention and orders of deportation of their loved ones. The #ReleaseMN8 campaign wanted the men, all in their 30s and 40s, to return to the communities where they had faced and overcome countless difficulties in their lives. It also sought to inspire others to join the movement to restore human rights to all refugees and immigrants. The #ReleaseMN8 campaign went public in September 2016. The determination and commitment of the MN8, their families, and their supporters led to the eventual release of three of the eight men.”Katrina Dizon Mariategue is the Director of National Policy, leading and coordinating SEARAC’s national advocacy efforts promoting social justice and equity among Southeast Asian American communities. Prior to this role, she served as SEARAC’s Immigration Policy Manager for three years overseeing the organization’s immigration policy and racial healing work.

In 2011, she was elected to serve as DC chapter president of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA), the only national Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) union membership organization. In this capacity, she led the chapter’s local advocacy campaigns and organizing work around immigrant workers’ rights, coordinated civic engagement programs for the 2012 elections, and strengthened local networks through extensive coalition building efforts. She also served on APALA’s National Executive Board and co-chaired the organization’s Young Leaders Council.Katrina holds a Master of Public Policy degree from the University of Maryland, College Park, where she also served as graduate coordinator at the Office of Multicultural Involvement and Community Advocacy to advise, mentor, and educate AAPI students on campus.
