In this episode, we talk to Jessica Ayden Li, who’s a social justice activist leadership coach and nonprofit consultant. We talked about everything from how she got to starting Healing Equity United. Some of her work around culturally specific training and culturally specific language and how that’s so important when reaching different communities. We talked about gender-based violence racism and xenophobia towards Asians and Asian Americans. We talked about the intersection of Asian Americans that are also people of color. We also talked about how important it is to come together even though we have our categories and how we can cross our categories to make changes with each other.
