We're thrilled to announce that our series, THE APAHM CONVERSATIONS, has been named a finalist for the 2023 Signal Awards, and we're taking a trip down memory lane to relive the magic! To celebrate, for the next ten days we're re-airing the episodes that got us here 🎙️✨
**
The APAHM Conversations continue with Rohan Zhou-Lee! Rohan and Patrick discuss how erasure by white society contributes to internalized self-hatred in the Asian American community, the deep history of cross-community solidarity between Asian America and others, and the idea of Asian American identity as transcendent.
Meet Rohan
