In this episode, Joanna and Jen have a conversation with Professor Professor Ernabel Demillo, Department Chair of the Communication and Media Culture Department at Saint Peter's University and host of the Emmy-award winning "Asian American Life" show on CUNY-TV. Ernabel talks about:

  • Whether and how the popularity of K Dramas and KPop are affecting American perceptions Asian Americans and Asian culture
  • How Asian culture is not monolithic
  • How the colorful outfits in K Dramas make her think of bouquets of flowers

  • How Jokoy is about to release his new movie, “Easter Sunday”
  • The newly-designated Little Manila in Queens
