Description
Continuing with this month’s focus on sharing real people's stories for Asian Pacific Heritage Month, joining me in this episode is my friend, Luisa Mataele Tupea. Luisa is both an Asian American and Pacific Islander, being of Tongan and Japanese ancestry. In this episode, Luisa shares: Her family history, her experiences as a member of both the Japanese and Tongan American communities How her communities have evolved over the past 30 years Her experience as a professional Asian American Pacific Islander woman in the sports broadcasting industry Stories from her career at ESPN covering NFL and NBA games, and events like the Superbowl, World Series, NBA Finals, US Open for Tennis, & even the World Cup! As I’ve previously said, it's so important to share our stories. So as you listen to Luisa’s story, think about your friends, and ask yourself how well do you know their stories? If you don’t, ask them to share it with you, and let them be heard. READ THE SHOW NOTES ASK A QUESTION WORK WITH ME CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM
