The Sex Talk, Saying 'I Love You' and Other Awkward Asian Parent Conversations

Jubilee Project's latest video series attempts to "bridge the gap" within Asian American families.



Jubilee Project's latest video series for NBC Asian America, The Bridge, brings together Asian American parents and their children face to face to discuss some topics they may never have broached before -- everything from their family immigration history to love and, yes, sex. (You can actually see mom, dad and kid sweating when the sex talk comes up.) It's both squirmy awkward and tearfully moving.

Check out all the episodes of "The Bridge" below. My favorite installment is Episode 5, where parent and kid stand and wordlessly stare at each other, face to face. You are not ready.

"I may not know the right thing to say politically, but if I had a friend that I cared about and they're hurting, I would want to be there with them." The Jubilee Project's "Voices" series for NBC Asian America gathered a group of Asian Americans -- including myself -- to do some word association on camera. In this latest installment, we offer some thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement.

Who is Vincent Chin?

Do you know who Vincent Chin was? The hate crime murder of Vincent Chin is often cited as a rallying point for Asian American activism, but how many people know who he was and what happened to him?

The Jubilee Project's latest video installment of "Voices" for NBC Asian America gathered a group of Asian Americans -- including myself -- to talk about Vincent Chin. Some were intimately aware of what had happened to him, while others, unfortunately but not surprisingly, had never heard of the case at all.

Heeeeeyyy! Proud to share the latest episode of Angry Asian America, my web talk show with the fine folks at ISAtv. In episode four, co-host Jenny Yang and I welcome good friends Taz Ahmed and Jason Lee and Eddie Lee of Jubilee Project (and a special guest appearance from a big green lizard).
