• ‘You have to name it to change it,’ Black-Asian solidarity, and art as a moral compass with Rohan Zhou-Lee.

  Back in December, we were so fortunate to sit down with the fantastic Rohan Zhou-Lee. Rohan is a dancer, writer, organizer, and the founder of the Blasian March, a Black-Asian-Blasian grassroots solidarity organization that has within three years established chapters all over the country. Rohan has a degree in Ethnomusicology from Northwestern University, and honestly is just a TOTAL joy to share space with. We talk about everything from art as a moral compass, how prison abolition relates to Asian liberation, why and how the Blasian March came to be, and of course -- how we're reclaiming our peace these days. They have been featured on CNN, NBC Chicago, USA Today, WNYC, and more. Blasian March has received several awards, including a certificate from the New York City Public Advocate. Zhou-Lee has spoken on organizing, human rights, and other subjects at Northwestern University, New York University, The University of Tokyo, the 2022 Unite and Enough Festivals in Zürich, Switzerland, Harvard University, and more.

• Breaking Down 'You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment' with Carolyn and Rosalyn.

  This week’s episode is such a fun one! Human Regards co-host Carolyn and her twin sister Ros were recently featured in the new hit Netflix series, You Are What You Eat. Join us, as we break down their experience both in the research study and in front of the camera for the documentary. More behind-the-scenes coming your way all week on our social channels — listen to the episode out today, and then be sure to tune in for all the piping hot tea and more exclusive BTS from these hilarious and insightful twin sisters. Guest Bios: Carolyn Sideco is a Sports Relationship Coach and founder of Coaching Kapwa Sports Consultants. She makes a daily ritual of crafting and emerging her Filipinx American identities through relationship-building with people and energies of this world. She's a professionally trained kinesiologist, physical educator, and athletic administrator. Always confident in her Filipina American identity, Carolyn enjoys amplifying the experiences of Filipinx/a/o-identified people, and is proud to shine light on their constant contributions to our societies. She understands the special value identical twins have to scientific research, and leverages this privilege to encourage folks of color to participate in and be critical of research and data in their own lives. Participating in the Stanford Study helps make Carolyn an interesting person to chat with at parties, as she brings no karaoke-singing or other performative value to the scene. The Food 2.0 series also gave Carolyn a reason to beg her friends and family to help in grocery shopping and cooking, as she doesn't do either of those things regularly or with much skill. She hopes that folks who watch the series feel empowered to join in on the Food 2.0 conversation. Rosalyn Sideco Moorhouse was born one minute after her twin in Tarlac, Philippines to Linda and Tony Sideco. She was raised in San Francisco following the family’s immigration to the United States. Rosalyn has three siblings and enjoys her brood of nephews and nieces. She earned a Masters Degree in Pastoral Ministry with an emphasis in Catechetics (Religious Education). Having worked with adolescents in various ministry settings since college, Rosalyn has been on faculty in the Religious Studies department at a Catholic high school for over 20 years. She takes her commitment to students seriously and considers the vocation of teaching an extension of her faith. Rosalyn and her monozygotic twin have been “Citizen Scientists” for over 30 years with Stanford’s National Twin Registry. They have proudly taken part in a range of studies to advance health and medicine. The plant-based vs. omnivore study was the most involved to date. Rosalyn found the fitness and biometric components most interesting and loved interacting with everyone involved in the project. Friends describe Rosalyn as fiercely loyal and adept at anticipating what they enjoy. Rosalyn lives with her husband, enjoying an empty nest while their son is in college.

• Human Regards Presents: The Call by The Empress Han

  We have a special treat for you this week! You may remember Mila’s guest episode from season 1! Carolyn and I had her on Human Regards to discuss her upcoming book, Everything You Think You Know About Adoption is A Lie. Well, lucky for us, she decided to release the book in audio form, and we have the introductory episode cued up for you here! Please enjoy this intro, The Call, and then head to the link below for all five episodes available now from this incredible writer, poet, and artist. --Everything You Think You Know About Adoption is A Lie, Podcast Description: As Adoption Survivors, our Voices are too often suppressed, ignored, and erased. This podcast is a declaration that we deserve to be seen, heard, and believed. Through a collection of insights, truths, personal anecdotes, poetry, and reflections, this podcast seeks to deconstruct common myths used in popular society to uphold and perpetuate the larger Adoption Myth. I hope by sharing what I have learned, we can continue to build abolitionist communities as we envision and create a future that allows us all to know love, belonging, and liberation. The Call, Episode Description: Welcome to Everything You Think You Know About Adoption is a Lie: Affirming and Centering Lived Experiences in the Deconstruction of the Adoption Myth. In this introduction episode titled "The Call," I share about the the moment I received a phone call that my Korean parents had been located, and what unfolded in the aftermath. I also explore the reasons and purpose for creating this space. Every You Think You Know About Adoption is a Lie is a collection of insights, truths, personal anecdotes, poetry, reflections, and thoughts intended to provide a more complex counter narrative to the dominant and overly sanitized and romanticized adoption narrative. The content is a step toward deconstructing common myths used in popular society to uphold and perpetuate the larger Adoption Myth. It is also a call to know the truth about the systems underlying not only the circumstances of my adoption but the historical and geopolitical circumstances of oppression of which adoption is an extension. I hope by sharing what I have learned that together we can continue to tear down the curtain of lies, so that the truth may thrive and grow within our hearts and our communities as we envision and create a future that allows us all to know love, safety, and liberation. -- Connect with The Empress Han on IG: @the_empress_han Listen to more episodes of Everything You Think You Know About Adoption is A Lie on Apple or Spotify.
