Emma Tang, a youth activist and community organizer whose platform reaches almost 90k followers, is on this week's episode to talk all things AAPI. She is the founder of a youth coalition on Instagram @intersectional.abc, and has worked as a youth vote organizer for the 2020 election at a nonprofit organization. She has done on the ground organizing work since she was 16 and has helped organize events in Denver, Portland, SLC, and NY for the Black Lives Matter movement. Recently, she has been doing on the ground work for Stop Asian hate, including organizing rallies in New York, creating virtual healing spaces for the AAPI community, and AAPI self defense classes online.
Emma and Julia chat about their experiences growing up as Asian American women in today's society, thoughts on the relationship between the Black-Asian communities, how Emma manages to set boundaries and take care of her mental health as a digital creator/activist, and so much more.
