Asian-American Allyship 101: So You Want to Be an Ally…Now What?
In this episode, we will break down what it really means to be an ally as an Asian-American. Now that we know the history of prejudice between Asian-Americans and Black-Americans and understand why the arguments made against allyship aren’t valid, how do we, as Asian-Americans, actually become better allies and hold ourselves accountable? This episode will talk about what allyship looks like and how to practice accountability, from my perspective as a South Asian at a predominantly white school.

Asian-American Allyship 101: "What Have They Done For Us?” and Other Myths That Hinder Allyship
In this episode, we will debunk the arguments that Asian-Americans often use against Black Lives Matter, such as “What have they done for us?”, “We worked hard to succeed, why can’t they?”, and “We’re minorities too, so how could we even help?” through the lens of the model minority myth. We will learn about how Black activists have aided Asian-Americans in achieving civil rights. This episode will give you talking points for your Asian family members who don’t want to support Black Lives Matter and prove why arguments against Asian-American allyship are futile.

Hey everybody! For KTM’s first podcast, we will be talking about colorism and the media’s contribution to colorism. Feel free to leave comments down below and thank you for listening in advance. Follow us on IG @KaleidoscopeTeen and stay tuned for more podcasts.
As you’re listening, you will hear that I make generalizations about certain groups of people. Understand that I am not speaking for everyone in that group and that everyone does not do the specific thing that I am speaking about. I tend to generalize when I speak and I apologize if I offend anyone. Please leave feedback in the comments so I can make my content better for you all. With love, Alisha Joseph.
