A podcast created for Asian American & Pacific Islander women on leadership and culture. Iโ€™ve wanted to carve out a space for AAPI women to explore and validate living in both Eastern and Western worlds. Each week we will celebrate our heritage and highlight our history as we explore our AAPI journeys, parts that we are proud of and those of pain.

EPISODE 6 w/ Helen Lee

You are in for a treat this week. The incredible Helen Lee is on the show. I admire Helen. She is a dear friend, a gifted writer, generous, kind, and smart. She has worked in publishing for over two decades and is an award winning writer. 

Helen describes the exact moment in 6th grade when she discovers what it means to be Korean when filling out a form about her ethnicity. She teaches us that words and tones can be misinterpreted, but sometimes itโ€™s just about acknowledging the differences that can help us grow and be better leaders. I loved our conversation and canโ€™t wait for you to hear her insights. โ€”Viv

LEADERSHIP LESSON

When you are working in a context where the leadership is largely non-Asian there are very distinct ways I think we Asian Americans communicate and relate. They are unique and distinct, and it will feel jarring that no everyone relates that way.
