We're back with another interview!

Kicking off this season, we had the privilege of talking with Summer and Crystal from Made in Hong Kong, a podcast about “2 Hong Kong girls trying their best to figure out life in America.” Tune in for our discussion on the similarities and differences between Asians and Asian-Americans, generational gaps, the level of social justice activity in both countries, and more.

We also had the opportunity to be interviewed ourselves on their platform! If you're interested in hearing about our experience growing up in the Bay, our take on the model minority myth, and our advice on how to stay politically active, please give it a listen as well! The links to their Spotify and Apple Podcast are down below!

Should gun control be enforced and if so, to what extent?

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode! This episode is going to be a little different. We’re going to have a debate between the affirmative, Carolyn and Helen, who will argue for gun control, and the opposition, Amy and Kelly, who will argue against gun control. Michelle will act as the judge of this debate, playing Devil’s Advocate and trying to stump us with difficult questions.

Disclaimer: this is just a debate and does not necessarily reflect our personal views.

Welcome back to another episode!! The hate around Asians has steadily increased due to various factors. Listen to us discuss them along with many other questions (Why isn’t the mainstream media covering Asian hate crimes? Are these attacks actually rooted in white supremacy? Why are Asian hate crimes almost never brought up when discussing racism? Why are we viewed as an “other”?) Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below as well!!

Hello again 💞

After more updates were made on this topic, we decided to make another episode with updated information. However, in this episode, we will also cover topics such as performative activism, curfews, and Blackout Tuesday. We’re seeing both good and bad changes happening. So what remains? Are all cops still as bad as the media makes them to be? Is BLM going to become another trend, or will this lead to a reform in systemic racism? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments!
