In episode #017, we elders talk all about Crazy Rich Asians - the movie and the book - and consider what it means to “make it.”

In episode #016, we elders continue our conversation on Hmong women experiences in The New Patriarchy by unpacking the phrase “ua siab ntev.” We elders also share our thoughts about Mai Neng Moua’s book, “The Bride Price,” consider alternatives to a bride price to honor Hmong parents, and begin to think about Hmong womanhood outside of “Hmong culture.”

Listeners will get a fuller experience by also listening to episode #002: The New Patriarchy.
