I'm Austin Cross. Join me for LAist's new live event series with the James Beard

Foundation. We are where we eat will go behind the scenes of

LA restaurants. The kickoff event is May 22nd tickets at LAS.com slash events.

On inheriting a new podcast about Asian American and Pacific Islander families,

we explore how a single event can ripple through generations.

Like Japanese American incarceration, or the Third World Liberation Front, or World War II

in the Pacific Islands.

I'm your host, Emily Kwong, and I've been waiting my whole life to make this show because I want to understand

Asian American and Pacific Islander presence in history but to do that we have to talk about how history feels to us and

shapes our families today.

After the Americans came in like they ruined the land like they bought out all our land they tore everything down

I didn't hear that story until I was older the judge decided to make my uncle

example and he put him in federal prison for two years.

You can't be born into such an unsafe situation as a baby without it having some effect on the

trajectory of the rest of your life.

These are the personal stories that aren't taught in school,

stories from within our own families.

But sometimes it can be hard to get our loved ones

to talk about what they've been through.
