hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

In the last month, the U.S. has seen a massive spike in anti-Asian hate crimes. According to The Cut, there were 20 incidents in the first half of 2020 alone, compared to 1 in the entire year of 2019. These activities have prompted intense sadness, frustration, anger, and fear amidst the Asian and Asian American community. Today, we have Tammy Cho & Michelle Hanabusa, co-founders of Hate Is A Virus, a community of mobilizers and amplifiers that exists to dismantle racism and hate. Tammy & Michelle started Hate Is A Virus in April 2020 in response to the rise in hate crimes against Asian American Pacific Islanders due to the pandemic. Join in today as we process the recent events, learn more about the initiatives at Hate Is A Virus, and discuss ways to take action to #StopAsianHate. To learn more about Hate Is A Virus, check out @hateisavirus_ and https://hateisavirus.org/.

On today's episode, we pick the brain of the mastermind behind the "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" trilogy, Jenny Han! She is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and also the executive producer on all three of the Netflix films - "To All the Boys I've Loved Before", "To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You", and the final film, "To All the Boys: Always and Forever" (out now!)  When her first film came out on Netflix, we all watched the movie and relished in the sweet nostalgia of young love, re-living the butterflies from first crushes, feeling the blush in our cheeks from awkward “firsts”, and wiping away hot tears that stain a naive heart. Lara Jean & Peter Kavinsky have clearly captured the hearts of America, and today, we think Jenny Han will capture yours. If you've watched the final film, let us know what you think!  This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh. ___  P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode: - BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/ABG10 - H&R Block: Get 20% off Online Tax Filings at hrblock.com/bossgirl - Honey: Get discounts on online shopping for free at joinhoney.com/abg - Ned & Co: Get 15% off first one-time order or 20% off first subscription order plus free shipping at www.helloned.com/ABG or use code ABG at checkout. - StitchFix: Get 25% off when you keep everything in your Fix at stitchfix.com/abg - Stereo: Catch our NEW weekly live show on Stereo!

Join us as we chat with our friend and Bling Empire star, Kevin Kreider. As residents of LA working on projects promoting Asian American representation, we met Kevin years ago through our friends at Wongfu Productions, whose shorts Kevin has acted in. And Kevin actually hosted a gala where ABG received our first cultural impact award from APEX in 2019. In this episode, we talk about both the Kevin in Bling Empire and the Kevin BEFORE Bling Empire - the Kevin who worked as a model and fitness coach while running his own production company called Taejin Entertainment LLC. The Kevin who has been an advocate of redefining Asian masculinity for many years and has been a motivational speaker at places like TedX and Google about reclaiming Asian male sexuality in America.

To many brides and grooms, the past year may have felt more like a Wedding “miss” than Wedding “bliss", with all the unexpected changes due to the pandemic. From changing expectations of the big day, bridal gowns that remain hanging in closets, to wedding invites with TBD dates…a lot of adjustments had to be made for many couples. Our bride, Helen, also had to work through these changes, and she shares all the wedding updates in this episode. Did she find her dream wedding dress? When are Helen & Phil getting married? How can the bridal party be supportive during these times? And what are the wedding trends to anticipate for 2021?

Triple digits!!! 100 is the beginning of a new chapter that we are opening as we enter the uncharted, the unknown, and the incredibly promising year of 2021. From that late-night casual conversation over drinks 4 years ago that lead to mic purchases, googling “how to make a podcast”, and claiming the @asianbossgirl handle across multiple platforms -- to a multi-media LLC powering the #3 podcast in the Personal Journals category in Canada and the #7 in the U.S. on Apple Podcasts and the #17 podcast in the Business category in the U.S. on Spotify -- 100 episodes later -- some things have definitely changed, but many things have remained the same.In this episode, we cover questions such as -- What were we most afraid of and excited for when we started the podcast? What has been the most challenging part of building this podcast? What is the most valuable lesson we have learned? What's ahead for ABG? Join us as we reflect on our journey to 100!And thank you all SOOO much for being part of our journey. We honestly could not have gotten here without y'all.

We are a couple of weeks into 2021, the year following an U.S. election year unlike any other many of us in our lifetime have, and perhaps ever will, experience. And though we are hot off the inauguration last night where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were formally sworn into office, marking the start of a new presidency, the intensity and aftermath of the social and political landscape from 2020 continues to affect us all.Like many people, we have been feeling overwhelmed, and sometimes numb, by all that has happened, and continues to happen, in our world today. To help us understand, ground, and interpret the current world state from a different perspective than our own, we are going to speak with people we think have one of the hardest jobs when it comes to coping with today’s current events - parents.Thank you to Kelly Lang, Michael Banaag, and Divya Anand for sharing their stories and perspectives with us!And thank you to Divya for the resources below:- Parents pause!: Talking race with White and non-Black children. Dig Boston, Anand, D., (2020, June 18).- Think outside the book: Transformative justice using children’s literature in educational settings. Journal Of Curriculum Studies Research, 2(2), 122-143. (Pages 127-132) features a transformative justice questionnaire which would be useful for teachers and caregivers of young children, Anand, D., & Hsu, L.
