Episode 12: Our Stories, Our Voices
Manage episode 313614963 series 3277965
On this episode, we meet our friend Shuli, the brains, heart, and soul behind Asian Lit for Kids, an Instagram account featuring quality Asian American children's literature. Shuli talks to us about what motivated her to start the account, and the need for more stories about our community, written in our own voices. We also talk about what Shuli loves about Oakland and Malaysia, thoughtfully raising pan-Asian kids, and the book she will someday write, and how Asian moms can't help but bring something when they come over even when they are explicitly asked not to!
Though Shuli has a lot on her plate as a mom, full-time educator, and running Asian Lit for Kids, it's clear that she is really leaning into her passions and gifts. On a technical note, you may hear a tuba-like sound throughout this recording, which we tried to troubleshoot and finally found out it was an ill-fitting cell phone charger, so we hope you find that somewhat amusing. Thank you for listening, and you can follow both @AsianLitforKids and @OaklandAsianMom on Instagram.
