Ep. #11: Keep Breathin
BLACK LIVES MATTER ✊🏿 "When they go low, we go high." - Michelle Obama ✊🏼 Make sure to listen to my previous episode, "Black & Yellow" to understand the context for this episode. I've been working on this episode since June, thank you for being patient with me. Did you know Black people stood up for Vietnamese people during the Civil Rights Movements of the 1960's? The thumbnail is from “Beyond Vietnam” (April 4th 1967) is a speech Martin Luther King, Jr gave at the Riverside Church in New York exactly one year before he was shot dead. He came out against the Vietnam War, calling it immoral. The world is on fire. Covid, Trump, BLM, Elections, White Supremacists, Zoom University, will we ever get back to normal? Keep breathing. Learn your history and stand up for your brothers and sisters that have stood up for you. ✊🏾 #BLM

Ep. #10: Remember Me
On the verge of tears, my most vulnerable episode yet - the world is bat shit crazy and I think it's getting to all of us. With the death toll increasing every day from the corona virus, how do we make the most out of the time we have left? Tomorrow is never guaranteed. In the modern world, this pandemic is unprecedented and while there is a lot of misinformation - use your brain smarts 💡 make good choices & wash your hands.

Ep. #9: Fire & Ice
If you ever wanted to hear me drunk and uninhibited whilst cool, calm, & collected, this is the bipolar podcast for you! How was your Valentine's day? Mine was filled with people I didn't care about and seafood. 🍤 Jennie drops golden nuggets of wisdom on me and I wasn't ready. My recent dates have given me all the feels and I'm still figuring out how to process everything. If I'm gonna be a mess, I might as well be a hot mess right?

Ep. #8 : P.S. I Still Love You
This is the nostalgic existential crisis episode where we listen to Madeon and catch up on my dating life on Hinge. I've missed y'all. I give y'all the DL on what I've been up to and my feelings about the future. I'm a hopeless romantic like Laura Jean but the only thing we have in common is that we're Asian. My goal is to find my Peter Kavinsky. I'm pretty bummed about Andrew Yang but I know this is just the beginning. #YangGang 💡Here's to more podcasts in 2020 🎊
