The Year of the Tiger embodies courage and bravery which could symbolize resilience and strength—something we could use after the last two years we’ve had. There has also been an alarming rise of anti-AAPI hate and violence during this time. The Immigrant Story, founded and ran by Sankar Raman, decided to produce a special series for their Many Roads To Here podcast that focuses on the AAPI community in Oregon. It’s called Many Roads In Conversation. They asked me to record a conversation with longtime friend and colleague Patti Duncan, an associate professor at Oregon State University, about mixed-race identity. ArtsWatch agreed to present this very personal and frank discussion of identity for Stage & Studio. https://www.orartswatch.org/stage-studio-many-roads-in-conversation/
Dmae Lo Roberts presents an audio podcast produced by The Immigrant Story that features a frank and personal exploration of mixed-race Asian American identity.
