S1EP10: Releasing from the Model Minority Myth
We’re starting off the month by sharing my perspective and journey in releasing from the Model Minority Myth as a middle-aged AAPI woman and working mom.
There are many layers and nuances to the Model Minority Myth, and I won’t take the time in this episode to explain it because I’m not an expert. If you’re not familiar with the term and how it’s affected the various minority groups, then I invite you to get curious and learn about it. There are lots of articles, books, and youtube videos that you can learn from.
This is why in this episode, I’m sharing my own personal experience and journey of how the model minority myth has impacted me, how I’m releasing/deconditioning from it, and how I’m showing up differently now.
So my hope in this episode is that story and perspective will shed light on the effects of the Model Minority Myth for those who aren’t familiar with the Model Minority Myth AND to let my fellow AAPI community know that you’re not alone and that maybe my story helps you feel seen, heard, and understood.
