Being quiet was my defense

Show Notes

This week I am joined by Kate Medina, one of the Directors at Mixed at Berkeley. We speak about mourning the loss of what could have been in the time of COVID and the joy of food from our multiple cultures.

This discussion was recorded back in January 2021, so we do not address the recent murders of 6 women of Asian descent, 2 people of European descent, and injuring 1 man of Latino descent.

Hyun Jung Grant, 51;

Suncha Kim, 69;

Soon Chung Park, 74;

Yong Ae Yue, 63;

Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33;

Xiaojie Tan, 49;

Daoyou Feng, 44; and

Paul Andre Michels, 54.

Elcias R. Hernandez-Ortiz, 30, who was seriously injured

In light of these murders and the recent increase in violence towards people of Asian descent, I have created a Mixed & Hella Asian fundraising t-shirt. 100% of the profits will be donated to various organizations that are doing work to stop violence in the AAPI community.
