About Misfits

Stereotypes don’t tell the whole story. Every other week, Misfits host Annie Prafcke talks with people who choose to stand out rather than fit in.

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 [https://store.bookbaby.com/book/tropical-symphony]  This is not a paid partnership.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
