Episode Synopsis

Today's episode marks the first episode for Asian American History Month. Given the political climate in the US right now, and that this is the month to celebrate both Evonne and my heritage, we wanted to dedicate this entire month to celebrate inspirational Asian women's stories. We are kicking off the first episode with none other than my (Yan's) mom. Like many kids I grew up stuck in my own head, caring only for myself, and have never truly asked my mom to tell me her childhood stories. Sure I know of some things she has mentioned here and there, but never the story in its entirety. That's why I am sooooo honored to finally have my mom on the podcast. It took me months to convince her, but I know it's hard on her to dredge up all of those traumatizing memories. I am thankful to finally have heard her childhood story, and have a whole new appreciation for the truly inspiration, strong, compassionate, graceful, and generous women she is. If I can be half as strong as her, can make half of the sacrifices she has made for her family, I would be very proud of myself. Thank you mom for coming on! I love you so much!
