Episode 7 - The Original Asian ft. Allia de Grano

"The Original Asian" sounds like a cool nickname until you learn about the dark history surrounding it. In this episode of UNAWA, we’re joined by Allia de Grano – current communications & design director of Philsa – who recalls her distressing experiences as she grew up in a small Alberta town. We also talk about the rise of Asian hate crimes that spiked during the pandemic and how we can all #stopasianhate along with ending other racist acts individually and as a community – no matter how small the action is.
