Happy Lunar New Year! We're celebrating our 20th episode with endless conversation about culture and community. This spans from the meaning of Lunar New Year, fast food (In N Out, McDonald's and Japanese burger chain MOS Burger anyone?) , to of course, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Naoko introduces Naoko to American writer and activist, James Baldwin, where his complex narrative centered around America's civil rights movement is beautifully directed by Haitian director Raoul Peck's documentary "I am Not Your Negro." Compelling, poignant and poetic, themes of race and class intertwine and should be on the watch list of all. We also revel in the works of powerful women of Viola Davis and Stacey Abrams, each of who is changing history by being present, being uniquely 'them' and impacting their respective roles in film and politics.
