Broken Rice Alvis Huynh and Putri Surya

In this week's episode, we discuss how it feels to be home, our chosen families and how monogamy is a scam.

** Trigger Warning: this episode contains topics of self-harm, suicidal ideation, and trauma.
We're back and it's mental health awareness month! On this week's episode, we have our wonderful friend, Jessica Jacobo joining us to talk about our mental health journeys and the benefits of going to therapy. We believe that mental wellness is just as important as physical and encourage everyone to prioritize taking care of mind + body.

As we continue to process the recent attacks on our community, we unearth a critical evaluation of Asian oppression and what it means to us in particular. Collective healing is necessary in the AAPI community while examining oppression at all intersections. We implore our Asian peers to take time to express anger and sadness as we continue to create movements to protect our communities and take space.
Correction: The ethnicities of the victims were not confirmed at the time and we believe it is important to be specific about the identities of who we are supporting.

Welcome to our debut episode of Broken Rice! In this episode, we take it back to high school, college, and even middle school to give our listeners a glimpse of who we are. Please enjoy! Special thanks to Miya Oshiro for our logo artwork and Mikey Gibbs for the intro song!
