It’s hard enough trying to make it in the entertainment industry. When you factor in discrimination against non-White actors the obstacles and challenges multiply. In today’s conversation we examine the barriers faced by Asian actors in Hollywood with my former guest, Rowena Chiu and her friends Angela Yeoh and Ashley Chiu who played her in the movie, She Said. From the lack of Asian roles and the phenomenon of White actors being cast as Asians, to decades of highly offensive portrayals and the commonplace dehumanizing of Asian women in entertainmentIt’s a fascinating and and important discussion because, as Rowena points out, these obstacles are a reflection of the wider context of living in a racist world.

Somatic Experiencing therapist Carol Hodson returns to talk about “stealth mental health”; simple practices to help us get unstuck from trauma symptoms, especially in the early weeks, days, and even hours after an event. Carol was part of a crisis team dispatched to Florida to help victims of the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian.
