In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jang Cho, a child and adult psychiatrist, to explore the complex layers of internalized racism within the Asian American community. Together, we unpack how racism and bias—both subtle and overt—have shaped the mental health, identity, and self-perception of generations of Asian Americans. From the model minority myth to everyday microaggressions, Dr. Cho shares insights from both her clinical practice and personal experiences. We also discuss the lasting psychological impact of systemic racism, how it often goes unspoken in Asian families, and ways individuals and communities can begin to heal and reclaim their narratives.
