Abby, Benita and Adrian return to the couch this week! We talk about name pronunciations and the temptation to accommodate mispronunciations. We discuss clips of Asian American celebrities Steven Yeun on Conan and Hasan Minhaj as he educated the world on the Ellen show.

Benita shares a few microaggressions (some macroaggressions) that she’s experienced as a woman of color living in Santa Cruz. We also circle back to the conversation about power dynamics between men and women from a few episodes ago and add more thoughts. Join us as we learn and GROW together!
