From the L.A. Times Studios, this is Asian Enough. Each week on this

podcast we talk to one Asian American celebrity about the joys, the complications, and everything else that comes

along with being Asian American.

I'm Frank Shaw.

And I'm Jan Yamato.

This week it's episode 15 of our podcast and we are joined by US Senator Kamala Harris. She'll talk about the recent rise in anti-Asian hate and how government leaders should address racism in America.

First and foremost, leaders have to speak truth about the fact that racism is real in America,

and it has always been.

And just a note, we spoke with Senator Harris just days after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, before Los Angeles and other cities around the world started seeing a massive wave of protests against racism and police violence.

So here is our conversation with the senator.
