Screenwriter, producer, and filmmaker, Kevin. T Morales joins Sandie to talk about the lifelong journey of storytelling. He comes from a family of artists and storytellers, and he's even had lunch with Francis Ford Coppola. In this episode, Kevin gives advice to aspiring filmmakers and directors on how to find your voice, write through grief, and maybe consider moving out of the United States. Of course, we also talk about the three filmmakers that inspired him to find his voice: Alejandro Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón.

Recorded in the height of COVID-19 and the overdue racial reckoning of America. Emmy-award winning video journalist and correspondent Dolly Li tells the untold story of Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Tu Youyou, who discovered the cure for malaria in ancient Chinese texts. We discuss Black Lives Matter, Asians For Black Lives, what makes this particular moment in time different than previous fights for civil liberties, and how we can stand in solidarity to move forward. 

Note: This episode was recorded at the end of February 2020, a few days before COVID-19 was reported in the United States. 
CW: Hate speech regarding anti-Blackness in Josephine Baker's life is used in this episode.

Let's travel back in time to the Roaring Twenties. Candace Maxwell (as seen on Netflix, STARZ, and the CW) tells the story behind the glitz & glamour of Josephine Baker, an actress, singer, dancer, social activist, and war hero. We discuss the difficulties of the entertainment industry, following your dreams, and what we can learn from Josephine Baker's legacy.

Crossposted from the hit podcast First Generation Burden, created and hosted by Rich Tu. We recorded this episode when New York City was first ordered to shelter-in-place back in late March. We talk about anti-Asian sentiments across the country, the perception of content post-COVID-19, and the Myth of Assimilation.

In the season finale, Sandie is joined by notorious "troublemaker," Simon Tam, the frontman of The Slants. Over the span of almost a decade, the band fought to keep their name with the U.S. Trademark Office and finally won a historic freedom of speech case with the Supreme Court in 2017. Think trademark law doesn't apply to you? Think again! Simon not only discusses this case, but also what it was like to grow up in Southern California, bullying, grief, and his newly released memoir, Slanted. 
 
At the end of this episode, there is also a sneak preview of their Broadway show in development! Enjoy.
