Unspoken Inheritance

Society EN ↓ 3 episodes

Join two friends as they explore the often invisible legacies passed down through generations. Each week, we’ll talk to fellow Asian Americans to uncover the 'unspoken inheritances' – the cultural norms, family dynamics, and even traumas – that have unknowingly shaped who they are. We’ll delve into personal stories of recognizing these deep-rooted influences, the journey of unpacking their impact, and the inspiring paths taken towards healing, growth, and consciously rewriting their own narratives to become better humans.
