Part 2 of an ongoing series reflecting on 25 years of Yellow Rage.
Michelle Myers draws on her experience as a professor, activist, and poet to foster a space for listeners where it’s humanly possible to make humanity possible. Each episode, Michelle discusses difficult topics with a focus on practicing mindfulness and self-care as well as on claiming a personal space of acceptance, healing, and compassion.
In this episode, she reflects on growing up as a mixed race Korean American—navigating racism, identity, and the pressure to prove who she is. This episode explores being questioned and misread, the impact of cultural disconnection, finding belonging in unexpected places, and uncovering the stories beneath anger.
