Sometimes the best relationships are built from having the most uncomfortable, honest, and vulnerable conversations about global and day-to-day issues. In this episode, Vannesa and I recall our high school friendship and the supportive bond we share through activism. Exchanging conversations about activism not only is a way to build a stronger relationship with others. It also allow us to inform ourselves about the Black Lives Matter movement, internalized racism in Asian communities and everyday microaggressions. As women of color, we also express our thoughts on how others react to the recent waves of activism on social media. While bringing up Vannesa's family background and struggles, we both also openly comment on the problematic aspects of colorism and apathy in our communities.
