Today's episode is a solo throwback of a Facebook Live I shared in July 2020.
I was going through my own unlearning of who I am as a Chinese American on many different levels - as a marginalized person, as a perpetuator of oppression and as an advocate/accomplice/ally.
It is really fascinating to listen to myself from almost two years ago and to listen to myself now. To see how the practice of the many things I am doing have created the version of me now who has a better knowing of myself and who I want to be in the world.
Practice doesn't make perfect - it makes normal. Don't let the process intimidate you.
This Live is also what sparked my conversation with next week's guest. Stay tuned!

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
