Carters, we are so excited to share with you an episode from Model Minority Moms, co-hosted by a beloved previous guest Susan Lieu (The Manicurist's Daughter), Jeanette Park and Kate Wang, three millenial Asian American moms. In this episode, Kulap talks about making of her documentary Origin Story. Talking about your life story with three other women who just understand you so well because they are fellow parents, fellow women, fellow immigrants... it just lets you get to another level of your story, real quick. Model Minority Moms started as a lengthy text-chain between a couple of working moms who were having babies during the pandemic and it morphed into a podcast that gets into the honest and deep conversations about parenthood, careers, relationships, growing up as an immigrant and everything in between. After you listen to Kulap's interview, check out more episodes of Model Minority Moms on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Love is in the air…but also, not really. It’s still really rough out there, which is why the Aunties are continuing to strategize for joy. Ku is dreaming of monthly Sunday dinners that are easy and delicious. Su is reading, watching and listening to stories that are fascinating and hopeful. And nothing screams joy like a little kid jamming out to music. The Aunties talk about their kids' awesome (if slightly confusing) music tastes.  We want to hear from you!
