“I can hear my mother’s voice… “백인들을 화나게 만들지 마” "Don’t make the white people mad.”
Susie Gamez
This week we talked with the amazing Pastor Susie Gamez. Susie covers a lot of topics! She talks about the myth of the perpetual foreigner, the lack of Asian American representation in films, tokenism, and standards of beauty. She also talks about the day she had to choose between her Asian identity and the kids that she grew up with. Finally, Susie explains how true peacemaking is about creating change!
