Asian American Women: Voices On High

April 27, 2021 • Jane Park, Maite Z. Alday, Jessica Kwack, Gina Lam • Episode 15

This season we have focused on amazing humans: how they find joy, how they find peace, how they find resilience, bravery, confidence and the power to stand up again after falling down. This episode could not be a better way to end this season than with a round table of strong, successful, professional and powerful women using their platforms and their voices to speak truth about life as Asian American women in America. So, please enjoy the second-to-last episode of season 1 of Worth Wandering with our guests:

Maite Z. Alday: Creator of the popular Instagram account @shes_mightymighty who was on a previous episode talking about this topic and her platform for social change.

Jane Park: Former Michigan news anchor, now living in Seattle, Mom of two and a TikTok creator with over 3 million followers. Her recent post went viral in which she played a “Sight Word Test” with her children. The cards were used to discuss anti-asian violence and served as a powerful reminder of teaching our children about racial inequality. @janeparkang

Gina Lam: Professor of Sociology from New York having taught both in her home State as well as colleges in Los Angeles. Her area of study is in social change and equity with a focus in Immigration. @im.gnaah

Jessica Kwack: Professor of Communication Studies in Los Angeles focusing on Rhetoric, Argumentation and Media representation of Asian Americans. @heysica
