An Awakening of Grief and Strength: Miran Kim's Asian American Story

Friend of the pod (and friend IRL), Miran Kim, joins Bethany and Kathleen to share her thoughts, struggles, and life-shifting realizations about being an Asian American woman in the aftermath of the March 16th murders in Atlanta. Then, Kathleen puts a worm in her pocket, Bethany has some octopus anger-management insight, and we hear from AAPI Tastebuds who sent us letters about their feelings on the #StopAsianHate movement.

Serious moments. Silly moments. This ice cream sundae has all the best flavors.
