The Chai with T

(AUDIO ONLY) Episode 3: Hidden Adoption (ft. Kris Rao)

In this episode, my friend and fellow South Asian Indian adoptee (Kris Rao) and I discuss some, out of the very many, narratives of adoption. The kicker in this one? Kris wasn't told by his adoptive parents that he was actually adopted FOR 34 YEARS... Join us as we discuss the numerous emotions and the effect this had and still does have on Kris' life, family, etc.

(AUDIO ONLY) Episode 2: BIPOC Adoptee (ft. Maze Felix)

Listen in as my good friend, Maze Felix, and I discuss the oftentimes unspoken difficulties and struggles of being a transracial and transnational adoptee - we were both adopted by families located in Ohio. Being adopted is not always the "fairytale" that it's painted out to be. It comes with trauma, and we hope our conversation brings light to this. Maze discusses their experiences as a trans and non-binary member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and the adversity of it all. We also highlight the difficulties of having OUR stories portrayed correctly within the entertainment industry. Enjoy the chai!
