The Rise Up: AAPI Excellence is a podcast devoted to celebrating the  experiences, challenges, and success of the Asian, Asian American,  Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community.

In Episode 1, we feature Dr. Amardeep Kahlon, Dean at Unity College in  Maine. We talk about the Model Minority stereotype, oppression and  poverty in the Asian community, invisibility and stereotyping of Asians in the film industry, and the historical background of Anti-Asian Racism.
