    For our final episode of the MinneAsianStories Podcast: Season 2, we continue our look at adoptee justice organizing in Minnesota. Our host Julia Gay chats with community organizer and founding board member of CAAL Margie Jo Eun Joo Andreason about how transracial and transnational adoptees in Minnesota are creating adoptee centered spaces for processing, healing and joy. Margie reflects on her work with the Network of Politicized Adoptees (NPA), an all-volunteer group of transracial adoptees working at the intersection of social justice and adoptee rights. Listen in on how Margie found her way to adoptee justice organizing and connects her work to the broader movement for shared liberation. You can learn more about the Network of Politicized Adoptees at npa-mn.org.

    "Our healing is rooted in decolonizing ourselves"

    For our final two episodes of the MinneAsianStories Podcast: Season 2, we're exploring how Asian Minnesotan transnational adoptees have been shifting the dominant narrative around adoption to center adoptee voices and experiences. Our MinneAsianStories Correspondent Hannah Kinzer chats with educator, writer, and DEI consultant Dr. SooJin Pate about the decolonizing process of reclaiming one's history, narrative and story as a transracial and transnational adoptee. SooJin reveals how policy and colonial power have fueled transnational adoption and made Minnesota the "Land of 10,000 Adoptees." She shares her reflections on adoption and how adoption is woven into Asian Americans movements and communities in Minnesota. Check out SooJin's podcasts, the Antiracist Parenting Podcast and Decolonize Yourself, and book From Orphan to Adoptee: US Empire and Genealogies of Korean Adoption.

    "Education should be used as a tool for liberation"

    MK draws on the metaphor of root systems and waterways to highlight the healing bonds between community members amidst the toxic effects of racism. She shares her perspective on Ethnic Studies organizing and how she has incorporated lessons from mothering and movements across the country into the local fight for Ethnic Studies in our schools. We want our school systems to be places of joy that inspire imagination, cultivate curiosity, and ensure that all children can learn and grow. Asian Minnesotans have lived in and contributed to the state for generations, yet Asian Americans are often excluded in the curriculum across all subjects. The Coalition of Asian American Leaders is a proud member of the Ethnic Studies Coalition. To learn more and get involved, visit www.ourschoolsmn.com.
