E7: Growing up Asian American in the Midwest Dear Lixxy

Ever feel a little different or just out of place? Maybe a little embarrassed of who you are? I sure as hell have —but don’t worry, those were my younger years! Listen in as Amber and I swap stories about what it was like for us growing up as Asian Americans in the Midwest. We had every intention of opening up but somehow we only scratched the surface. Curious for us to share more? Send us a DM on IG @dearlixxy or message us at dearlixxy@gmail.com.

Now more than ever, we encourage everyone to branch out and learn about the Asian American identity and the different ways to support the AAPI community. Links are listed below for those of you who are interested in showing support by donating.
