This Week’s Podcast Episode… is so relevant for Asian Heritage Month… Identity Crisis: Conny Lee
When the pandemic hit in 2020, all of a sudden, there was a rise in incidents towards the Canadian (and North American) Asian communities. Violence that arose as a result of a belief that China was the cause of COVID, affected anyone who looked Asian, even though they had nothing to do with the pandemic. That was the moment that Conny Lee’s identity crisis began and her courage in overcoming it led her to look at the impact of the pain she was carrying on behalf of her family and living in survival response.
