061 – S2 E25 – Critical thinking, opinion-sharing, and the freedom to disagree

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Rosie—a trauma recovery coach, HR leader, and professional accountant—about her early memories of growing up in an immigrant family, and the Asian values that were instilled in her. We talk about how her education systems encouraged her development of skills and abilities that could lead to job and financial security, and less on developing her voice and creativity. We also discuss the path that Rosie took towards unlearning limiting expectations, as well as decolonizing some of the harmful perspectives and messaging from society on people of color.
