In this episode, Richard Leong, a board member of the nonprofit organization Act to Change and a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant, comes onto the podcast to share his experiences growing up as an Asian American and how they led him to prioritize education and social justice work, his involvement with Act to Change, and his new Asian American identity coaching service. We also have a candid conversation about a gender divide when it comes to anti-racism work, Asian/American solidarity, why people are so averse to change, the pros and cons of social media activism, and more.
