hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

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.

People, Places, and things - in the most simple and direct translation, they are simply the definition of a noun. But these nouns are what makeup experiences, the many experiences throughout our lives that have shaped us into who we are today. From the people who left a lasting impression on us, the places that are painted with memories, to the inanimate objects that feel more living than not...all of these experiences have left a lasting impression on us for different reasons.In the Disney movie, “Inside Out”, they touch on the topic of “core memories”. Core Memories play a pivotal role in the film and are described as memories that feel more significant than regular memories. Core Memories essentially shape your personality and define who you are today.Today, we’ll be sharing our core memories, specifically the people, places, and things that have made an impact on our lives.This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.---P A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:- Glossier: Get 10% off your first purchase at glossier.com/podcast/ABG- AAVRANI: Get 20% off your first order at AAVRANI.com with code ABG20- KiwiCo: Get 50% off your first month + FREE shopping on any crate line at kiwico.com with code ABG- Parade: Get 20% off your order at yourparade.com/ABG with code ABG- Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/ABGS U B S C R I B E T O U S !- @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts / Spotify / YouTube / Instagram / Twitter / Facebook- More about us at asianbossgirl.comE – M A I L U S !- hello@asianbossgirl.comS U P P O R T U S !- merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com- donation: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message Learn more about your ad choices.
