Ep. 33: Tadaima 2022 - Speaking out and calling in with bravery and humility

This episode of The Pacific Heart Podcast features the host, Dr. Ravi Chandra's, conversation at Tadaima 2022. Tadaima is the online Japanese American Pilgrimage held each October. Our discussion, titled “Speaking Out and Calling In with Bravery and Humility: A Conversation with Dr. Ravi Chandra,” was moderated by organizer Julie Abo, and included her mother, Mary Abo, who was incarcerated as a child, and Mike Ishii and Rikio Inouye, both activists and scholars in the Japanese American community. I was invited to be on the panel because of my long history with the Japanese American community, and because of two articles I’d recently written. The first, on Psychology Today, was about humility, and was recently republished by The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. The second, at East Wind eZine, questioned the “good heartedness” of Trump supporters and their opponents. Our YouTube conversation is linked below, and all these articles are linked in the associated Psychology Today blogpost, published October 5, 2023.
