*Bonus!* One Year, Three Seasons: GCV Pod Hosts Mahlet/MK, Asha, and Tri reflect. Recorded Oct 2020
<p>It's the GCV, the Podcast 1 year, 3 seasons-end reflection and conversation!</p> <p>Green Card Voices, the Podcast Season 1 host Mahlet aka MK, Season 2 #LoveYourAsianNeighbors host and co-manager Tri, and Beyond Allyship podcast manager and co-host Asha Thanki join each other after the end of the season 3 Beyond Allyship finale in October 2020, barely a week before the momentous 59th United States presidential election on Tues Nov 3rd, 2020. Tri has a lot of questions for the hosts, including:</p> <ul> <li>Mahlet’s thoughts, as the host who was part of the start of the overall life of the podcast, on what the unplanned trajectory, as impacted by worldwide pandemic and the U.S national social uprisings, of the podcast series means to her<br> </li> <li>Tri’s thought process in the conception and shift to season 2 of GCV the Podcast, titled the #LoveYourAsianNeighbors series. As GCV’s then-social media intern with an amateur enthusiasm for podcasts as a long-time podcast consumer, Tri took on the task of shifting the format of the podcast to best demonstrate GCV’s role as a storytelling platform during a global pandemic whose circumstances also amplified anti-Chinese and Chinese-adjacent attitudes and actions in countries such as the U.S.<br> </li> <li>Asha’s circumstances and task that became creating the season 3 series, Beyond Allyship, of stepping into the podcast manager role in 2020, in the wake of George Floyd’s murder by Minneapolis police and the consequent uprisings that began in Minnesota and has since spread to many sites of allied protests worldwide, and shifting the podcast’s goals, yet again, to address the social injustices against peoples grouped and distinguished as “Black” and African under the banner of a Minneapolis-based non-profit that primarily seres as a platform for immigrant and refugee first-person storytelling<br> </li> <li>Asha sharing how GCV the Podcast is set up well to reach listeners in many different places as it concerns their understanding of the political, historical, and cultural moment we’re living by facilitating a platform for guests to demonstrate what work they have already been doing, rather than the hosts guiding the conversations outside of the immediate experiences of the guests<br> </li> <li>Tri’s comment on how the Green Card Voices became a veritable “time capsule” for three stages of GCV’s varied alignment of commitments to immigrant and refugee first-person storytelling first on its own terms, then in emphasized relationship to Asian U.S diasporic peoples during a global pandemic, and in most recent memory in relationship with often non-immigrant Black peoples and recent-diasporic African peoples<br> </li> <li>Tri asks Mahlet, Asha, and is asked himself: “How are you? Have you been able to go for relaxing walks? Have you seen a cute dog? Have you had enough down-time off of Zoom?”<br> </li> <li>Last but not least, we bring back the closing Story Stitch question that became a staple of the #LoveYourAsianNeighbors series: “Tell about a time when your life felt abundant.”</li> </ul> <p>Thank you so much for listening along to our bold and stimulating conversations with community and movement leaders. Please check out our past episodes and conversations with strong-willed, whole-hearted, and community driven storytellers and leaders to see just how powerful and complex our immigrant, refugee, and diasporic communities really are.</p> <p>Visit us at greencardvoices.org to learn more about the necessary value of immigrant, refugee, and diasporic narratives in building the future in America worth sharing with one another as local and global neighbors.</p> <p>Thank you for being a great listener and neighbor. </p>

Please subscribe to the podcast, listen to all our amazing past conversations, and be ready for when Green Card Voices steps further into the new decade with bold feet and clear eyes with more voices speaking to the role of immigrants, refugees, and diaspora peoples in shaping the quickening currents of our messy world.</p> <p>Podcast manager Asha Thanki sits down with Sergio and MaryAnne Quiroz to talk about how they, as Indigenous and Asian American artists and activists, collaborate with the movement for Black liberation.</p> <p>Their nonprofit, Indigenous Roots Cultural Center, is not only a collaborative space for artists but also became a major mutual aid station for the East Side of St. Paul. Sergio and MaryAnne discuss the ways in which their art is inseparable from their activism, the ways in which they’re participating in conversations around colorism and anti-Blackness in their communities, and the deep ties to ancestry through the work they do in the community. Check out our sixth episode -- the last one of this season -- to hear more about why both Sergio and MaryAnne are hopeful for the future.</p> <p><strong>Join</strong> the Green Card Voices podcast community by becoming a podcast Patron: <a href="https://bit.ly/ForOurGCVNeighbors"><u>https://bit.ly/ForOurGCVNeighbors</u></a></p> <p><strong>Learn</strong> more about Indigenous Roots Cultural Center’s work: <a href="https://indigenous-roots.org/"><u>https://indigenous-roots.org/</u></a></p> <p><strong>Share</strong> our conversation with Sergio and MaryAnne online—using the #BeyondAllyship hashtag—and tell us how you are contributing to the movement and uplifting Black voices.</p> <p>Thank you so much for listening along to our bold and stimulating conversations with community and movement leaders.

Throughout this series, we highlight the work of local organizers while addressing how different immigrant and cultural communities can better align with the movement to take actions beyond a performative allyship and better act in solidarity with our Black communities.</p>

Beyond Allyship Ep 5: pt 2/2, a Loving Letter to Asian American "Wokeness"
<p>Listen to Episode 2 for the first installment of our conversation with Darian and Lily on reimagining our relationship with the United States.</p> <p>We’re back with Darian Spearman and Lily Luo, doctoral candidates at the University of Connecticut, to continue the conversation from our second episode. With a little more political theory and history, this half of the conversation looks more closely at the intersection of labor and social justice, while investigating ways different cultural communities build solidarity.</p> <p>We dive into complicated relationships with mythologized ancestry, as well as questions like: How can we build bridges through social justice conversations with our diaspora families? What does it mean to have one foot in a U.S. American identity and the other based in another homeland or motherland? How can we conceptualize “family” and “solidarity” in ways that bridge different communities?</p> <p><strong>Join</strong> the Green Card Voices podcast community by becoming a Patron: <a href="https://bit.ly/ForOurGCVNeighbors"><u>https://bit.ly/ForOurGCVNeighbors</u></a></p> <p><strong>Share</strong> our conversation with Darian and Lily online—using the #BeyondAllyship hashtag—and tell us how you are contributing to the movement and uplifting Black voices.</p> <p>Discussed or mentioned this week:</p> <ul> <li>On Racial Capitalism, Black Internationalism, and Cultures of Resistance, by Cedric Robinson<br> </li> <li>The Intimacies of Four Continents, by Lisa Lowe<br> </li> <li><a href="https://www.drumnyc.org/"><u>Desis Rising Up & Moving (DRUM)<br> </u></a></li> <li>Queer Phenomenology, by Sara Ahmed<br> </li> </ul> <p>ABOUT THIS SPECIAL SERIES:</p> <p>Green Card Voices is based in the Twin Cities, and, after the police murder of George Floyd, we are pivoting our platform to elevate Black voices and direct our listeners toward resources and actions they can take today to benefit the movement for Black liberation.
