Episode 16: Tough Conversations

Conversations about difficult topics are never easy and easily avoidable. When you add in the hierarchical nature of many Asian cultures, this difficulty doubles. In this episode, we discuss our personal experience of talking to family members about topics ranging from racism and anti-blackness, to mental health and perspectives on Vietnamese colonialism.

As you will hear, we are not great at doing it ourselves. However, our hope is that through this episode, you may hear similarities with discussions that you have avoided or tried to engage in, and then just maybe, learn something to kickstart those tough conversations again.
