Let’s Get MinimalMinimalism is a design, lifestyle, and aesthetic trend that is gripping the Nation.  Forced to live with and deal with our stuff while the World was in Lockdown, people are making intentional decisions about how much stuff they need and want to live with.  Mainstream Minimalism imagery can be stark, rigid , and White Washed (both literally and figuratively) leading some to wonder If Minimalism  is for Black People?  Can we carve out a space that feels like it belongs to us in the White Washed world of Minimalism?  On today’s episode, I am sitting down with the Afrominimalist to discuss the answers to these questions as well as talk about her new book, The Afrominimalist’s Guide To Living With Less.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Crowns & Hops- (@crownsandhops)- Black Owned Craft Beer Brand & Brewery https://crownsandhops.com/Chunks (@chunks.shop)- Asian Owned color hair clip and barrette brand https://chunks.shop/Keep Up With The Afrominimalist Website: https://www.afrominimalist.com/IG: @afrominimalist Twitter: @christineaplattFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/christine.p.patrick.1Buy The Book: https://www.loyaltybookstores.com/book/9781982168049Live With Less: https://www.afrominimalist.com/live-with-lessFind us on Social Media:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Broadway has been rocked, and not in the Queen musical kind of way.

Between protesting, police brutality caught on tape (and being replayed countless times), and the impact of the pandemic, our mental health and emotional states are feeling taxed. If you are a Person Of Color, the constant headlines about racism and Other based violence can lead to a type of emotional distress known as racial trauma. On this episode, we bring on Yuna Youn (**first guest**) to discuss how we can cope with racial traumas, Yellow Peril Supporting Black Power, and how to shop for a therapist.Find us on Instagram: @blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Our monthlong deep dive into Education is coming to a close, but not without one last inspiring conversation. Teachers. We’ve all had them, but how many Teachers or Professors of Color did you have when you were a student?  After a long pause and some mental time travel, “a few” was the answer Kaytie and I managed to muster. We want to help change that by having a conversation about the importance of having Teachers and Professors of Color in the classroom. We have a great guest on today who will be breaking down the concept of Mirrors and Windows, telling us what Justice in Education looks like, and how communities can help diversify the teachers who teach our children.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Brown Girls Stationary (@browngirlsstationery)- Stationery & School Supplies for Brown Girls https://brown-girls-stationery.myshopify.com/Kaytie- The Flour Box (@theflourboxseattle) Thoughtfully handmade donuts + baked goods.

S.T.E.M (aka Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) is a simple acronym that is loaded with stereotypes mainly having to do with women, and their perceived lack of abilities to excel at these subjects.  Since negative stereotyping exists about women in STEM, this has a direct impact on who chooses to pursue a career in a STEM field.  On this episode, we talk to our favorite STEMinist (and fellow podcaster) about how to slay the Patriarchy in STEM, how to make STEM careers more welcoming and inclusive for women and people of Color, and talk about how confidence is a crucial ingredient for career success.  Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- The Black Toy Store (@theblacktoystore) Online destination for hand- picked, curated children;’s toys, games, books, and gifts that reflect the beauty and diversity of the African diaspora https://blacktoystore.com/Kaytie- Wonton in a Million (@wontoninamillion) Home of the DimSum Steam Team, an adorable group of characters inspired by dimsum.  Show stationery, planner goodies, perch, and more. https://wontoninamillion.com/Keep Up With Tiffany DawsonE: tiffany@tiffanydawson.coW: http://www.tiffanydawson.coIG: @tiffanydawson_Links: http://www.tiffanydawson.co/linksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wonderwomeninstem/Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffany-w-dawson/Find us on Social Media:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

One year ago as the frenzy of the Pandemic was rising to an all-time high, the U.S. saw a spike in violence against Asian Americans.  We were scared for what the future held, and how bad the problem could get.  One year later a horrible tragedy occurred in Atlanta killing 8 people, 7 we of Asian descent (and 6 of the victims were women) In this episode, we take a look at what led to the violent events in Atlanta, the history of violence against AAPI in this country, and how we can keep our AAPI loved ones safe.  Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana-  BLK MKT Vintage (@blkmktvintage)- Seriously fresh Black curiosities, heirlooms, and collections https://www.blkmktvintage.com/Kaytie- ManiMe (@manime.co)- Custom fit, at home mani in minutes http://www.ManiMe.coInstagram Accounts To Check Out:@zenerations@diversifyournarrative@michellekimkim@afropuffchroniclesFind us on Social Media:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar are mixed together to form the brine. Add-ins like mirin, garlic, or chiles are optional. I like to make this tasty side dish with Japanese mini mushrooms like enoki or shimeji (beechmushrooms), but for this recipe, I’ve used the easier-to-find shiitake. Feel free to use any type of mushroom you can get your hands on, from button to chanterelles.1. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, water, and sugar and bring to a simmer. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely, 3 to 5 minutes.2. Transfer the mushrooms to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Let the brine cool, then pour over the mushrooms. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. These will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. TRY IT WITH: These mushrooms are a delicious and nutritious addition to noodle or rice bowls or tossed into a salad.Find us on Instagram:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff seem to be the most talked about couple on the planet right now, and there is a very good reason for that. With our Madam Vice President being a Black and South Asian woman, the visual of her White Husband stepping into the role of Second Gentleman (as well as stepping back to let Harris lead and shine) disrupts the gender roles that we are commonly used to seeing. In this episode, we talk about how important the image of an interracial couple in public office is, what gender stereotypes we are rethinking, and how we can normalize those image of power and support going forward.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Phillip Ashley Chocolates (@phillipashleychocolates)- Delicious, designer chocolate perfect for gifting!https://phillipashleychocolates.comJac- Scarlett Floral Designs (@teamscarlet)- Floral Designs and Custom Creations for you or a friend.http://www.scarletflowersdesigns.comFind us on Instagram:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Sleepovers are a rite of passage for most kids and teens, but not everyone attended sleepovers growing up.

In the episode, we are talking about slumber parties. Is not allowing your child to attend sleepovers an Asian thing? Are attending sleepovers necessary? Are sleepovers good for kids?

Broadway has been rocked, and not in the Queen musical kind of way. This Summer, Broadway BIPOC performers, writers, directors, and technicians banded together and wrote a letter to Broadway calling for change in an effort to make Broadway a more inclusive and actively anti-racist place for all employees. That letter began with the powerful words “Dear White American Theatre.” In this episode, we talk to a culture critic all about how Broadway is dealing with this letter, changes he has seen, and what the future holds for The Great White Way (no pun intended).Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Melanin Moments (@melanin_moments_)- wrapping paper featuring people of Color with a philanthropic twist (melaninmoments.com)Jac- Asian Veggies (@asian_veggies)- delicious, nutritious Asian veggies delivered to your door (asian-veggies.com)Keep Up With Jose Solis:Twitter: @josesolismayenListen to Token Theatre Friends Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/token-theatre-friends/id1516665246https://www.americantheatre.org/2020/10/07/jose-solis-the-critic-as-cheerleader-and-critics-lab-leader/Find us on Instagram: @blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

** DISCLAIMER- In the process of editing this episode, we came across a problem with the audio file. A staticky noise crept in at about the 30 minute mark. That sound is wildly unpleasant, and we did not want to subject your ears to that noise for an extended period of time. Please forgive the strange jump cut mid show, and please know that it was due to an audio issue we caught too late. ***Do Black People need to wear SPF when their melanin is inborn sunscreen? If Black don’t crack, does it get sunburned? Black People don’t get skin cancer, do they? These questions are all related to a larger conversation about sun protection in the Black community.
