Stop Asian Hate ft. Charlotte Cho, Lucie Zhang, and Natalie Chan

“This country insists that our racial identity is beside the point, that it has nothing to do with being bullied, or passed over for promotion, or cut off every time we talk... It’s like being ghosted, I suppose, where, deprived of all social cues, I have no relational gauge for my own behavior. I ransack my mind for what I could have done, could have said...” - Cathy Park Hong in Minor Feelings

Last week’s massage parlor shootings in Atlanta, and the overall rise in anti-Asian rhetoric over this past year is simply unacceptable. The gaslighting and erasure of the AAPI experience is violent. And so on this episode, I sat down with Soko Glam’s Charlotte Cho, Vogue’s Lucie Zhang, and Instagram’s Natalie Chan to unpack all of it. From their experiences growing up in a predominately white society, to being hypersexualized as young Asian women, to being othered within the beauty industry, there’s a lot to talk about and I can’t wait for you to tune in.
