This week, fashion designer and tailor, Jessica Yuen, joins Sandie to tell the story of Wong Kim Ark, a Chinese-American who brought birthright citizenship to the Supreme Court when denied entry during the Chinese Exclusion Act. Before this, Sandie stalked Jessica as an audience member when she was on a panel for Asian-Americans in the arts. It sounds creepy, but a beautiful friendship actually forms...like Netflix's You. Kidding! Don't romanticize stalking, you guys. It's gross. Anyway, they talk about growing up as one of the only Chinese families on the block, and the guilt they live with in the often misunderstood realities of being in an interracial relationship.
