Episode 3 – Alexandra Mei & Diana Tao – Representation and Saying No

Published on: Aug 3, 2020

In this episode, our guests are activists Diana Tao & Alexandra Mei (both she/hers), co-creators of Chinese American Voices. We talk about how hard it is to fit in, the double-edged sword that is the model minority stereotype, and what allies can do to help. We also talked about the path that took them to Chinese American Voices. Check out stories and resources for Asian Americans and their allies and join us in signing their powerful petition.
You can also find them on IG: @ChineseAmericanVoices
