Welcome to the 96th episode of Hearabouts: Asian American Midwest Radio. Hearabouts is produced by Indiana University’s Asian Culture Center in collaboration with WFHB. We ask critical questions about identity, culture, community, and shared assumptions. This episode is produced by Belle Chatpunnarangsee, Aung Han, and Joanna Kung.

In this episode, we are joined by Valentina, a senior at Indiana University. We talked about her multicultural background and the challenges she faced and overcame. We shared thoughts and experience with being “different” and how it has shaped our perspectives on identity, belonging, and personal growth.
