Our mom's immigration story and her OBSESSION with sales
Our mom’s perspective was largely absent from the narrative of our parent’s immigration. Although I had heard bits and pieces of my mom's story growing up, it wasn’t until mother’s day of 2020 that I realized the full extent of our mom’s sacrifice and the unfathomable hardships she faced. This week’s podcast seeks to the honor and preserve a small part of her story. Rachel, Andrew, and I truly don't deserve such an amazing mother.

Rachel owes us half a BILLION dollars and wishing we were white
One of my favorite episodes yet :D Hop on the roof with us and enjoy a conversation about how our sibling relationships have changed over the years (from bullying each other to becoming besties), why Rachel owes her brothers half a billion dollars, struggling with our asian american identities, and then reclaiming it.
