AAPI Heritage, Pride Month, Storytelling on Grief, and Reaching 50k Streams: A Solo Reflection

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a solo episode, so here’s a special one for you as I celebrate turning 43 and my recent milestone: hitting 50K streams, and 100K views on my YouTube channel.

As a queer Viet-Khmer American, the transition from AAPI Heritage Month to Pride Month always carries a reminder for me on what it means to live abundantly through my identities. In my reflection on this episode, I share my thoughts about the significance of AAPI and Pride Month in a time where erasure of history and human rights are being lost, the power of community and collective care, and bringing back the podcast after a two-year hiatus.

I’m also taking you behind the scenes of my recent storytelling debut performance, and why I still felt confident in the days leading up to it despite having very little practice time.

Thank you for listening, sharing, and helping me hit this benchmark. Here’s to the next chapter!
