This week's guest, Mary Hayashi is an award-winning author whose book, Far from Home: Shattering the Myth of the Model Minority, documents her journey from her childhood in Korea to becoming a nationally recognized healthcare leader, mental health advocate, and member of the California state legislature.
As a member of California State Assembly, she championed numerous meaningful reforms to expand access to healthcare, delivered more than $1 billion for public schools, and established unprecedented partnerships in support of social causes that previously had no financial or public backing.
