Another wonderful episode with our lovely guest Derek Tran, to talk about issues surrounding activism, current-day events, and the Asian culture.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Flashback to Xanga? Livejournal?
  • Our COVID check-in and thoughts on the CDC directive to remove masks in the US
  • Trump's rhetoric that catalyzed so much of the Asian hate we face
  • Shallow activism in celebrities and gay community
  • Becoming more conscious of the news we take in
  • Why we need to call in vs. calling each other out
  • The shift in younger generation and activism
