A special aspect of The Katie Phang Show is the platform it provided for AANHPI voices & issues.

Our community is underrepresented, undervalued, & often overlooked.

The poster contains some, but not all, of the 100+ AANHPI guests that have appeared on my show.

And I’m just getting started!

I am so excited to share a link to a Elaine Appleton Grant's newsletter-Sound Judgement and our recent conversation, soundjudgment.substack.com/p/why-write Nothing I love more than talking about writing and storytelling. She gets me.
Why write?
What is the role of a storyteller in a world in crisis? One wise woman sets me straight on a question many of us are asking.

I hope you read, really consider its implications, and share it widely.

"It is often said: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. If that is true, then only weeks into Donald Trump’s four-year term, we are approaching tyranny."

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.

This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

The American Cancer Society, and many other organizations, recommended HPV vaccinations for children.

8 out of 10 UNVACCINATED people will get HPV.

HPV causes 6 cancers.

HPV CAN'T BE TREATED BUT IT CAN BE PREVENTED.

Get your kids vaccinated.

Believe in Science.

The HPV vaccine can protect your child's future because it helps prevent six types of cancer later in life. Find information about HPV vaccination here!

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.
