Ep. 29 | AANHPI Month: Acknowledging Colorism in Asian and Caribbean Communities, Navigating Intergenerational Family History and Religion with Christopher and Ronald Yee Mon
As National Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month 2023 comes to a close, we are releasing a series of episodes recorded in 2022 that feature conversations with Asian Americans. We talk about race and identity, but we also address other topics in our community including religion, family, careers and our creative pursuits.
In this episode, we hear from Ronald Yee-Mon (he/him), a Chinese-Trinidadian Catholic priest living in Fargo, North Dakota, and his nephew Christopher (Chris) Yee Mon (he/him), a software engineer in Seattle, Washington. We discuss issues of colorism and the nuances of race in Caribbean communities. We also talk about family history and religion across generations.
*Please note that Ronald prefers his surname hyphenated whereas Chris prefers it without the hyphen, which is why there is a discrepancy in name format.
*Also apologies that this actually came out after AANHPI Heritage Month ended
