Too Close for Discomfort

Celena

0 Episode

Even though we may like to assume that we are wokekings and wokequeens, let’s not get it twisted: our assumption-laden society is inescapable. Too Close for Discomfort highlights the things that irk us and plunges into the question "why do we act the way that we do? What can we do about it?" As a spinoff of her snarky, memoirical newsletter Honest Fiction, Host Celena Chong discusses culture-related issues and topics that is traditionally viewed as "uncomfortable" to speak on, primarily those of Asian American culture.
