MigrAsians is a podcast about creative and political Asians and how their story of migration informs what they do and their path to healing. The Asian diaspora runs far and wide, as does Asian immigration history. All of this has birthed the model minority myth as well as a myriad of stereotypes that don't consider nuance or the vastness of this continent. Meet artists, activists, writers, advocates, and other creatives and politicos that are deeply affected by their path of immigration.

Fierce Authenticity and Supremacy Culture with Shirani M. Pathak
I absolutely love this human being, Shirani M. Pathak, and all the amazing work she has been doing to dismantle trauma resulting from supremacy culture. Shirani is following up her first book Fierce Authenticity with Fierce Authenticity 2.0, adding in critical information and resources about how trauma, tending to our nervous systems, and supremacy culture have to be addressed when it comes to understanding our wounds.
Her transition from her first one to this one is a beautiful demonstration of how we are always in process of understanding our own conditioning within supremacy culture. Shirani has done incredible research for her new book, which she dives into in this episode as well.
Follow Shirani on Instagram @shiranimpathak (https://www.instagram.com/shiranimpathak/), get in touch with her at https://www.shiranimpathak.com/contact (https://www.shiranimpathak.com/contact), and listen to her podcast Fierce Authenticity (https://www.shiranimpathak.com/podcast). Shirani also interviewed me on her podcast as well, and I love how we fangirl for each other!

Suicide: The Lack of Access to Mental Health Care, How It Is Criminalized, and What We Can Do to Prevent It
CW: Suicide
This episode is very close to my heart. It's about a heavy topic, and I encourage you to take your time listening to it, or step away from it if it's too much.
In this episode, I talk to four people, all of whom have a relationship to suicide. I speak with Monica (they/them), the eldest child of Chinese immigrants and a freelance musician whose flexible jobs allows them to maintain their mental health; Henry Ling (he/him), who identifies as a third culture kid, found support for mental health and suicidal ideation on YouTube; and Avanti (they/she), a South Asian immigrant, who is training to be a therapist but wants to disrupt what therapy can look like in favor of abolition and community care; and Melody Li (佢/any) a therapist who embodies a decolonized perspective.
We talk about the lack of financial and culturally-specific access to mental health care, how suicide is criminalized, and how we can try to look at suicide prevention from a space of care, sharing stories, and slowing down.
