A podcast created for Asian American & Pacific Islander women on leadership and culture. I’ve wanted to carve out a space for AAPI women to explore and validate living in both Eastern and Western worlds. Each week we will celebrate our heritage and highlight our history as we explore our AAPI journeys, parts that we are proud of and those of pain.

Episode 12 w/ Jenny Yang

What an inspiring conversation with Jenny Yang. I have so much respect and gratitude for the work that she is doing. She is passionate about her work and family. I especially love how she shares the work she does with her children. Jenny Yang’s work on political campaigns and international affairs started in DC. Now she is the VP of Advocacy and Policy at World Relief. She explores the tension of assimilation and amplification in our ethnic journey. Jenny shares about how she navigates balancing family and her work traveling advocating for immigrants and refugees. Can’t wait for you to join the conversation!

LEADERSHIP LESSON

Humility goes a long way. It expresses to the people you work with that none of us have the right answers, that we have to work within a team and in collaboration with each other. Whenever I see someone curious and learning, is a huge strength of leadership.
