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.

FAVORITE ASIAN COMFORT FOOD

Lumpia (Filipino egg roll)


Dorina chases God’s glory as a mama, foodie, runner, and a weaver of words. Her essays have been published at (in)courage, Kindred Mom, For Every Mom, The MOPS blog and in more than 20 newspapers. She specializes in helping people navigate grief and flourish in community.

Dorina is passionate about raising up women from diverse backgrounds to thrive in their God-given callings. For more than 12 years, she has been leading Bible studies and developing leaders. Her gift is delivering authentic, Biblically-sound messages that engage audiences through story. She has published two Bible studies, Glory Chasers: Discovering God's Glory in Unexpected Places and Flourishing Together: Cultivating a Fruitful Life in Christ.

With an MFA in Children’s Literature, Dorina has published three multicultural children’s books and a collection of poetry. Her book, Cora Cooks Pancit, received the Asian American Librarians Association Picture Book of the Year. One of Dorina's joys is speaking in the schools, teaching kids about multiculturalism using her book and modeling how to make Filipino food. 

Dorina is the granddaughter of Filipino-Hawaiian-Chinese and Italian immigrants. Raised in Chicago, she was transplanted to Fresno, California in 1999. She considers herself a California girl now as she raises three daughters to love the cultural diversity, wonder-filled landscapes and unique food of the state.

After her husband died from cancer in 2014, Dorina married a long-time friend, Shawn Young. They still consider themselves newlyweds dancing in the beauty that rises from ashes. When Dorina is not writing or spending time with family, she’s out on the trails running marathons and chasing God’s glory. Dorina and Shawn are currently working on a book project together. Walk, Run, Soar: A 52-week devotional for runners will be published in September 2020 by Bethany House Publishers/Baker Books.

DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know there were Chinese who served in the American Civil War? In 1845, Edward Day Cahota was just a little boy discovered on the merchant ship Cohota, bound for Massachusetts from Shanghai, China. He was adopted by Sargent S. Day, the captain of the ship. He attended school with the captain’s other children and later joined the 23rd Massachusetts Infantry. He served in the Army for 30 years. All that time, he thought he was a U.S. citizen and believed his Civil War service qualified him for the right. However, with the passing of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 he learned he was not a citizen and could not become one. Cohota died at the Battle Mountain Sanitarium for Veterans in Hot Springs, S.D. in 1935.

LEADERSHIP LESSON

Collaboration over Comparison, Diversity over Division, Presence over Pride
