#5 Anti-Asian violence in Atlanta: Red Canary Song's Yves Tong Nguyen on the mental health of Asian sex workers & massage workers

  • Summary

  • In this episode, I talk to Yves Tong Nguyen, a Vietnamese American cultural worker at Red Canary Song. Red Canary Song is a grassroots collective that works to help Asian and migrant sex workers and massage workers in Flushing, New York. In the wake of anti-Asian violence in Atlanta, talked about the massage work industry in the US, the policing of work, and if there’s a space to talk about mental health. We also talk about how hypersexualization and fetishization of Asian women play into myths around sex and massage work.
