Episode Synopsis
The COVID-19 pandemic brought out the best in people and the worst. In this episode we talk about racism directed at members of the Asian American community.

Rachel Endo, the Dean of UW Tacoma’s School of Education helps put what we’re seeing now into a larger historical perspective. Staff Psychologist and avid runner Paolo Laraño discusses racism he’s experienced while out for a jog. He also discusses the murder of fellow runner Ahmaud Arbery.
