Ep. 29 | AANHPI Month: Acknowledging Colorism in Asian and Caribbean Communities, Navigating Intergenerational Family History and Religion with Christopher and Ronald Yee Mon
As National Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month 2023 comes to a close, we are releasing a series of episodes recorded in 2022 that feature conversations with Asian Americans. We talk about race and identity, but we also address other topics in our community including religion, family, careers and our creative pursuits. In this episode, we hear from Ronald Yee-Mon (he/him), a Chinese-Trinidadian Catholic priest living in Fargo, North Dakota, and his nephew Christopher (Chris) Yee Mon (he/him), a software engineer in Seattle, Washington. We discuss issues of colorism and the nuances of race in Caribbean communities. We also talk about family history and religion across generations. *Please note that Ronald prefers his surname hyphenated whereas Chris prefers it without the hyphen, which is why there is a discrepancy in name format. *Also apologies that this actually came out after AANHPI Heritage Month ended "Tropical Symphony: A Story of a Unique Trinidadian-Chinese Family" https://store.bookbaby.com/book/tropical-symphony This is not a paid partnership.

Ep. 22 | Supporting Someone with Chronic Pain, Teaching Yoga for Every Body, and Learning to Let Go Through Reiki with Kristin Frank
Kristin Frank (she/her) is an emotional health facilitator, trauma-informed adaptive yoga teacher, mindfulness educator, and reiki practitioner based in the Fargo-Moorhead area. She is listed as an Advanced Integrative Processing Technique Facilitator with the Institute of Healing Arts. Along with her many roles, Kristin is also a person living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a group of hereditary connective tissue disorders characterized by elastic skin, hypermobile joints, and weakened muscle and tissue. Today we talk about Kristin’s views on how to best support someone with chronic pain, teaching adaptive yoga for every body, and learning to let go of negativity through reiki. Info about and sources for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS): https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ehlers-danlos-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20362125#:~:text=Ehlers%2DDanlos%20syndrome%20is%20a,underlying%20structures%20in%20your%20body. https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/ehlers-danlos-syndrome/ https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/what-is-eds/ Integrative Processing Technique trainers and facilitators with The Institute of Healing Arts: https://www.ihaofutah.com/meet-our-trainers-and-facilitators Beyond Boundaries: https://beyondboundaries.us/ Ecce Yoga: https://www.ecceyoga.com/about Kristin’s website: https://www.lomalifewholebodywellness.com/ You can also find her on Instagram @loma_life. A couple of corrections: -I introduce Kristin as Moorhead-based and at one-point in the show, she says she lives in Fargo. Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN are cities that are right next to each other. Kristin is Fargo-Moorhead based. -In our conversation, I say that it is strange that I have similar leg pain to my mom even thought I'm adopted and "there's nothing biologically or genetically similar between us." That's not scientifically true as all humans are genetically similar. I meant that she couldn't have passed down that trait to me.
