Episode 21: Stories from a Hayward Multiracial Mom (and Librarian, and Activist, and...)
Manage episode 321254299 series 3277965
We're branching out a bit geographically for this episode and talking to Diana, a multiracial Asian and white mom hailing from Hayward. Diana talks to us about her work as an academic librarian at Cal State East Bay (RIP CSU Hayward), how she got involved with SURJ, which organizes white people for racial justice, and what it's like being a multiracial woman in that space. We also heard about Diana's childhood in Dixon, California, about her identity as a yonsei (4th gen Japanese American), and the cultural breaks caused by internment. We appreciated hearing about how Diana lives with deep and thoughtful intentionality about cultivating connections with her Japanese American heritage and committing to an antiracist family life.
