In continuation of tough conversations and our anti-racism work, today's episode is centered around anti-Asian racism.

And today's guest, Jolene Jang, breaks down the issues the community faces and what we can do to support them.

Jolene Jang is an Asian Inclusivity Consultant, who trains individuals how to be Asian inclusive. She created the Empowered Asians Facebook group  to provide a safe place for Asians and the Asian Allies Group to support Asians Americans. 
 Jolene believes talking  about race doesn’t have to be painful and guilt-ridden. In fact, learning about different cultures can be fascinating, eye-opening and enlightening.  Jolene facilitates delicate discussions on sensitive subjects in a gamified, non-threatening way.
 Jolene shares videos, interviews and insights on how you can be an inclusive citizen and support the Asians that are in your networks.

As we all know, representation matters. But when representation is done in a one dimensional, often stereotypical way, it can create a lot of harm to the community. Which is why, as today's guest will explain, representation needs to be responsible.

Join us for an in depth conversation about representation for the LGBTQ+ community with Angel Bellon. Angel is a Senior Director of Insights & Cultural Intelligence at Paramount. A hybrid strategist + cultural anthropologist with over 15 years of experience, Angel fuses consumer insight with cultural foresight to forecast consumer behavior.  At Paramount, Angel oversees thought leadership studies to help build a culture of empathy for marginalized communities and inspire culturally-forward solutions for Paramount’s advertising partners.   
 Beyond his role at Paramount, Angel believes in “paying it forward” by mentoring the next generation of professionals, especially those from marginalized communities.  At his first few jobs, there were only a few other minorities who would become his mentors in showing him how to navigate the corporate world.  
 Angel has shared his insights at several trade conferences, the United Nations and The Department of Defense. He holds a Master’s in Media Studies from The New School and is a frequent guest lecturer at The University of Southern California (USC). 
 CHECK OUT THE ZINE:

The 75+ page zine is the editorial companion to Paramount’s latest study, LGBTQ+ In America, which looks at the lived experiences of a community that has seen tremendous setbacks while also undergoing significant setbacks.  The zine explores how members of the LGBTQ+ community are navigating a heteronormative society, the unique nuances across the identity spectrum and deeper dives in topics like intersectionality within the community, religion & spirituality, drag culture and what we learned on our own travels throughout the US as part of our research.

Making sustainable and ethical fashion choices can be overwhelming, confusing and time consuming!

Luck for us today's guest, Maria Burgos, has created a company that makes it easy.

Maria Burgos is the founder of Trendy Seconds, a company which helps women easily become responsible fashion consumers. 
Raised in Venezuela, a country where political and economical crisis were the norm, Maria learned to create her own opportunities while developing the resilience to keep moving forward. Over the past 20 years, Maria has started 3 companies and held corporate positions focused on Sales and Marketing, always aligned with her passion for helping others.

Living in four different countries and experiencing diverse cultures made her understand that we all have more similarities than differences regardless of our origin. 
 
 Today, Maria deeply believes in the interconnection of people regardless of the place where they live because, in the end, we are all sharing this planet as our common home.
 
She’s an advocate of second chances and she was able to talk about this during her TEDx Countdown talk in Houston last October.
