Ep 15 Diasporahood: Identities, Asian & African Diaspora relations, Masculinity with Tyler Lum

Ciao! 


Diasporahood is back and we are building conversation within the
African Diaspora and beyond. Today I'm joined by my friend and
activist Tyler Lum, who is Malaysian Chinese and White
American. 


In this conversation, we start with what it meant to graduate in
the midst of a Global Pandemic and Tyler highlights how this
impacted his identities. Talking about identity, he also shares
what he means for him navigating his identity as a mixed-race
person born in Asia and raised in the US. What are the
similarities and differences with my identity as an
Afroitalian? 


In this episode, we also tackle some difficult conversations from
#StopAsianHate to whether there are tensions between the Asian
and African Diaspora and we can come together. We will chat
about how Asian men are perceived within Western Society and the
joys and challenges of activism.
