In this episode, we talk about the trauma Asian communities experienced during COVID-19. There are other events within the Asian community that created racial trauma, not just COVID-19 and we were unable to cover that in this episode as it is a lot of information to digest. Instead, we focused on the most recent traumatic event and discussed privilege and personal experiences of microaggression.
