This week as AANHPI Heritage Month comes to a close, Christie and Sam reflect upon their conversations with guests this month around biracial, South Asian, and Pacific Islander identity. They ground their reflections referencing racial identity development models sharing their own reactions to the frameworks, as well as considering the history of the “Asian American” political identity.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Asian American Identity Development Model (Jean Kim, 1981)
- Biracial Identity Development (W. S. Carlos Poston, 1990)
- 1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed* on HBO
Bridges Mental Health connects Asian, Pacific Islander, South Asian Americans (APISA) with culturally responsive mental health professionals and resources. We hope to make mental health care more accessible and approachable across the Asian diaspora.
