SELF EVIDENT: ASIAN AMERICA’S STORIES

Self Evident is a podcast where we challenge the narratives about where we’re from, where we belong, and where we’re going — by telling Asian America’s stories. With host Cathy Erway, the show tackles today’s tough questions about identity, cultural change and nationhood by presenting reported narratives, community conversations, and personal stories.
