We are over a year and a half into the pandemic, halfway through 2021, and anti-Asian hate incidents are still happening across America. So how did we process it all? How are we processing it?

We close out National Domestic Violence Awareness month in this episode to discuss the pervasive cultural norms that have enabled domestic violence in the Hmong community for far too long. Join us as we explore possible solutions that our community can take to end domestic violence and better support survivors because we know it takes #allofus.
It’s wedding season and we’re in full swing of wedding festivities and planning! Listen in to our final episode of this season as Monica and Mai Nhia share their wedding highlights and lowlights. With less than 100 days before each of their individual weddings, they both get honest about the emotional and financial challenges they’ve faced throughout their wedding planning, all the tiny details that go into planning a wedding, bridezilla moments, and what they’re looking forward to.
We’re living in unprecedented times where some say it’s a worker’s market. As the pandemic and the great resignation continue, many people are looking towards careers that offer greater work-life balance and equitable pay, and careers that fulfill their creative outlets. We know as Hmong Americans and children of immigrants, creative careers aren’t always the first option, let alone welcomed. But we know they exist among our community. Join us as we speak with Phillipe Thao about what it's like to work in a “non-traditional” career as a Hmong American in media and entertainment, and his hopes for the future of Hmong millennials and gen Zer’s.
As young Hmong women professionals, we have had our share of great managers and mentors, and not-so-great leaders that we had to work with.

We are ecstatic to have Doua Thor and KaYing Yang as co-hosts in this episode takeover! Doua and KaYing have been building power in the Hmong and larger AAPI community for decades. They explore what it means to be authentic leaders and how to build up capacity within our communities.

Is some AAPI representation better than none?
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), yet mainstream APAHM celebrations have historically commemorated East Asian American history and heritage. We know APAHM goes beyond the month of May and East Asian American narratives, and that our Southeast Asian, South Asian, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities are equally important in AAPI history. In this episode, we give our hot takes on AAPI representation, how and where we fit into Asian America, and the importance of authenticity in living out our identities as Hmong Americans.
