Though this has been a chaotic year, I'm deeply happy and thankful that it has led to opening minds to listen to the voices who may have felt unheard for too long. In this episode, I chat with Kim Saira - an activist, artist, and Southeast Asian influencer - about Asian American experiences, a few things to be aware of as an ally, Kim’s story, and moving to America at a young age. We also touch on art, nature, and sobriety.
