want to know a secret? we think this might be our favorite episode so far. this week we're shifting the attention to the listeners. we're opening up the conversation and using our platform to share others' stories and experiences. we received so many incredible submissions of our listeners' thoughts, opinions, and personal experiences, that we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to just them. of course, we throw in a little of our signature commentary between stories, but we keep it focused mainly on our audience. after all, without you, we'd just be a support group of two.

this week we're getting really personal. we're talking all about dating; exes, apps, family expectations, and more. we're discussing ethnicity filters on dating apps - yes, you can quite literally eliminate an enter ethnicity of humans from the catalogue of potential dates you swipe through - and whether there is an actual case to be made for them. we're breaking down family expectations and how they've evolved through the past few generations. AND we're sharing awkward and extremely cringe-worthy pick-up lines we've received, as well as spilling some relationship tea. you don't want to miss this one! it's light and silly, with our signature informational and vulnerable twist. join the support group! minority support group stands with the asian-american community. hate crimes against the AAPI community have skyrocketed recently, but have received little to no media coverage. we remind our listeners to use their voices and get involved every week, and we want to start by following our own advice. being anti-racist means supporting all races, ethnicities, and cultures. minority support group also stands with the black lives matter movement.

45% of american workers experienced discrimination and/or harassment in the past year... but only 55% of workplaces have diversity and inclusion policies in place. it's never easy being the only minority in a room, but being one of the only minorities in your place of work comes with its own separate hurdles. from being profiled, to being stereotyped, to being treated differently based on your gender and/or ethnicity, there is no shortage of topics to be discussed with this subject. we've narrowed it down to some of our own experiences - which conveniently include racial profiling, stereotyping, and being treated differently based on your gender - as well as some facts and statistics concerning diversity in the workplace. did you know organizations with greater gender diversity and employee engagement outperform companies with lesser by more than 46%? there is literally no downside to promoting a more diverse and inclusive work environment, and above all else, that's what we're here to stress today. minority support group stands with the asian-american community. hate crimes against the AAPI community have skyrocketed recently, but have received little to no media coverage. we remind our listeners to use their voices and get involved every week, and we want to start by following our own advice. being anti-racist means supporting all races, ethnicities, and cultures. minority support group also stands with the black lives matter movement.

if we were to say "stereotypical american college," you would probably picture something pretty similar to the university of missouri. that's where we went to college - and that's where we met! this week we're diving back into our experiences there, including discussing and dissecting the nationally and internationally covered protests of 2015-2016. this episode has plenty of informational content, reflection, and personal stories. it's a good one, we swear. join us for the support group and subscribe while you're here! minority support group stands with the asian-american community. hate crimes against the AAPI community have skyrocketed recently, but have received little to no media coverage. we remind our listeners to use their voices and get involved every week, and we want to start by following our own advice. being anti-racist means supporting all races, ethnicities, and cultures. minority support group also stands with the black lives matter movement.

this week we're talking about microaggressions, something that is close to a daily occurrence for us. in this episode, we dive into different forms and themes of racial microaggressions as well as our own experiences with them. spoiler alert: microaggressions are confusing! it's hard being able to determine what is microaggressive behavior sometimes, and we're still trying to figure that out for ourselves. so join us for the support group this week and take a deep dive into some definitions and stories!

this week we're talking about school... baby. we talk about our experiences from kindergarten through high school. trying to fit in when you constantly stand out is an uncomfortable challenge. we call out injustices we've seen going through the american school system as both immigrants and minorities, and dive into the confining and difficult events that helped shaped us.

this week we're talking about stereotypes, both in pop culture and in our personal lives. we rant about TV shows and their racist tropes, stereotypes we have both been subject to, and more. we're also debunking the idea that there is a such thing as a "good stereotype," because we've realized, regardless of how you mean it, a stereotype still reduces a multi-faceted person down to one singular characteristic defined by their appearance.

this week we’re talking about identity crises. we’ve had a lot over the years. ignoring and/or denying our cultures to try and fit in with the people around us, changing our appearances however we could to keep ourselves from looking more different than we already did, even adopting more ‘normal’ names. it’s been a rollercoaster, and we’ll be honest, we still don’t know exactly who we are, but we’re trying to get there.
