Sense8 with Lishu
We are making some changes to the UW podcast! Now, through the lens of fictional characters, we will examine the ways women of color in our lives are embracing or breaking the narratives created by popular culture. In this episode, we discuss Sense8's Bak Sun with Lishu He, a PhD student at the Medical College of Wisconsin. We talk about Asian identity, WOC in STEM, kickboxing, and more.

Hold Strong, Have Patience, Seek Joy
In this first episode, we're interviewing Lucero Camarena. She describes herself as "A fierce and unapologetic trans Latina here to live her best life while changing hearts and minds!" We talk about realizations, what it means to be a woman of color and how our identities intertwine with the normative idea of being a woman in a time of change.
