On this episode of the AIPT Television podcast, we are joined by pop culture writer Christine Pasalo Norland. In addition to writing, she serves as the founder and president of Hello Barkada, an organization that “serves historically marginalized communities through digital and traditional media and programming, such as online and print media and virtual and in-person events.”
In the latest episode, we discuss the new series American Born Chinese based on the groundbreaking graphic novel from Gene Luen Yang. The story follows a young teen named Jin Wang who is trying to fit in. One day, a mysterious new student arrives who turns Jin’s world upside down by not only affecting his status in the high school social hierarchy, but also drawing him into a conflict where Chinese mythical gods are at war. The series explores themes of identity, family, and culture. Spoilers Ahead!
