010: On Moving!

PPP chats this week about moving! Using an interview-style format, Mee asks Jackie a bunch of questions about how she's moved multiple times around the country after college. The pair talk about the difficulties of moving, from logistics to parental attitudes of leaving the proverbial nest. With COVID inspiring so many people to move to different parts of the country, you may find some useful tidbits in this episode that help give you that extra nudge to explore a new spot!

005: Immigrant Children Problems

Special episode with special guests! After a few super serious episodes, PPP decided to do something a little more lighthearted and fun. Mee and Jackie invite two of their college friends Raul and Jessica to come join them on the show to discuss and compare notes on their different (but also very similar!) upbringings. From pressure to make specific decisions on college majors to fears about being on the receiving end of "La Chancla", this episode is full of fun stories to which many children of immigrants will find familiar.

001: Introducing Poor People!

Poor People--it sounds like an odd name for a podcast...almost insulting! But that's the phrase that came up again and again in the many conversations between Mee and Jackie while ranting about various grievances they had in their daily lives. They found that they (and many of their other Asian-American friends) have had very similar growing pains throughout their childhoods to their present-day lives, all related to...well, growing up poor. From education to banking to healthcare, there were many different areas in their lives where they wish they had received more guidance, whether it be during adolescence or even their current lives. Mee and Jackie kick off their inaugural episode of Poor People by talking about their backgrounds and their motivations for this podcast. They explore the different factors and influences that have shaped their experiences and beliefs, including education, religion, and family. They hope to use this platform for people of color to discuss the issues in the current political-economic environment, stories of socioeconomic upbringing, and success stories and experiences of today.
