Ciao!
Diasporahood is back and we are building conversation within the African Diaspora and beyond. Today I'm joined by my friend and activist Tyler Lum, who is Malaysian Chinese and White American.
In this conversation, we start with what it meant to graduate in the midst of a Global Pandemic and Tyler highlights how this impacted his identities. Talking about identity, he also shares what he means for him navigating his identity as a mixed-race person born in Asia and raised in the US. What are the similarities and differences with my identity as an Afroitalian?
In this episode, we also tackle some difficult conversations from #StopAsianHate to whether there are tensions between the Asian and African Diaspora and we can come together. We will chat about how Asian men are perceived within Western Society and the joys and challenges of activism.
