Today on the show, Wednesday host Ali Muldrow is joined by Brenda Yang, a local educator and advocate for Asian American culture and language access in Madison.
They talk about Brenda’s experience as a Hmong American, language access as a civil right, the recent surge in anti-Asian racism and violence, and why Asian Americans provide a vital perspective in the racial justice movement.
Brenda Yang is an Upward Bound Math & Science advisor at East High School in Madison, where she helps low-income and first-generation students gain access to higher education.
She also serves on the Hmong Education Council and works part-time as a consultant for the City of Madison in the Department of Civil Rights in providing language access and cultural awareness to better support Asian communities in Madison.
