At the Moment Podcast - A Year of Reckoning Part 2: COVID’s Impact on Marginalized Asian Americans
Welcome to part 2 of our launch episode of At the Moment! Hosted by Sylvia Peng and Janrey Serapio, “At the Moment” is a podcast where we explore Asian American as a term, identity, and political movement. We’re kicking off our launch with a look back at 2 key topics in 2020: BIPOC racial justice and COVID-19. In part 2, we examine how COVID-19 has impacted marginalized Asian American communities, namely Southeast Asians. We talk to Professor Catherine Ceniza Choy to give context to Filipino frontline worker histories and experiences during this time. Then, we talk to Chhaya Chhoum, the founder of Mekong NYC, about how Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese refugee communities are coping with government neglect by providing mutual aid in Bronx, NYC.
