Self Evident challenges the narratives of where we come from, where we belong, and where we're going — by telling Asian America's stories.

From the Los Angeles Times, “Asian Enough” is a podcast about being Asian American -- the joys, the complications and everything in between. In each episode, hosts Jen Yamato, Johana Bhuiyan, Tracy Brown and Suhauna Hussain of the Times invite special guests to share personal stories and unpack identity on their own terms. They explore the vast diaspora across cultures, backgrounds and generations, and try to expand the ways in which being Asian American is defined.

Hosted by Quincy Surasmith, Asian Americana was born out of a desire to show more “slices” of Asian American life, and to emphasize how narratives about AAPI communities are central—and essential—to American culture. “We weren’t just present” for American history, writes Surasmith. “We’ve actively built and shaped this nation with endless stories and contributions.”

Sharon Lee Thony and Raman Sehgal are two MODERN MINORITIES - Asian-American industry pros "making it" (?) - even though they never became the doctors their parents wanted them to be. Each week, they are joined by folks of all stripes - entrepreneurs, corporates, athletes, reporters, politicians, entertainers, and more - to uncover how our different cultural backgrounds shape how we uniquely experience the world.

MODERN MINORITIES is a collection of conversations about work and life through the lens of race and gender. It is a show where we talk about “the thing” that everyone is thinking about, but nobody is actually talking about it.
