In this episode, Jordan and Ambree are joined by Alyssa Sunew (@alyssasunew), an Asian-American friend of the podcast, for the second week! In the second part of this two week conversation, the three discuss the experience of Asian-Americans and allyship between them and the African-American community. The backdrop of the conversation is the recent mass shooting in Atlanta in which 8 people were killed, 6 of whom were Asian- American women by a white gunman.

We stand with the Asian community, and will continue to work to eradicate white supremacy and the many ways it poisons our societies. Thank you to Alyssa Sunew for sharing her experiences with us and our listeners. We remember the names of the victims: Xiaojie Tan, Delaina Yaun, Daoyou Feng, Yong Ae Yue, Hyun Jung Grant, Soon Chung Park, Suncha Kim, and Paul Andre Michels.
