Happy AAPI Month! This is Love, Mikaela a podcast where I talk about literally anything and everything I want to. For today's episode I wanted to revisit my thoughts on being half Japanese and my own personal experiences. These aren't huge problems and I want to reiterate that I recognize my privilege and acknowledge that in the grand scheme of things these problems are miniscule in comparison to other issues other people face. Fair warning this is a ramble-y one. Again, these are just my own personal thoughts and opinions based on my own real life experience. I do not speak for anyone else and these thoughts and opinions could change in the future. Thanks for tuning in! Time stamps are below.
