What's an Asian Fail? Getting a B is an Asian Fail. Anything other than being the very best is a failure. Or is it? Hear stories from Asian peeps who did not become doctors or lawyers! Ok, maybe some doctors and lawyers. We'll also chat about mental/physical health, entertainment, and culture, from an Asian American point of view.

Kung Flu got ya down? What about the China Virus? Just when we thought we could live our lives and mind our own business, pandemic race baiting has singled Asians out as the scapegoat du jour. I discuss this issue with Dr. Grace Chen, a psychologist, along with the Model Minority myth, balancing life between two cultures, the resistance to getting mental health help, and specific issues that confront Asian American women.

Kristina Wong is a comedian, writer and performance artist who grew up in San Francisco and is now based in LA. She just completed a month long run at LA's Center Theatre Group with her show, Kristina Wong for Public Office, based on her experience being an elected representative of Koreatown. She also started the Auntie Sewing Squad at the beginning of the pandemic to make masks for health care workers, and now for underserved populations. That experience spawned a documentary in the making and a book deal. If you can, donate or make some masks and spread the protection instead of infection.
