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.

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.

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.
