Educating the next generation about AAPI culture and history is crucial to building a more tolerant, equitable future for the Asian American community. But where do we even start? In this episode, you'll hear from two powerful voices how anyone, Asian or not, can help pass down the dynamic Asian cultures and experiences that make America beautiful. Jane Park is a Korean American mom from Seattle who posts the ups and downs of parenting on her viral Tik Tok account, and Karalee Wong Nakatsuka is an award-winning 8th grade history teacher from California. We discuss what it will take to raise a generation that understands and appreciates the AAPI community, including why personal connections are essential to learning about culture, how the classroom plays into children's perceptions of identity, and what parents can do to teach their kids about race.
