We're thrilled to continue our #WeAreListening campaign to amplify diverse voices in our #ASCJ community — especially those historically unheard in society.

In honor of #APIDA Heritage Month, we're listening to Asian storytellers in media & comm; students, faculty, alums. 👨🏻♥️👂🏻
We're thrilled to listen to trailblazer @mayleeasia, #ASCJ journalism instructor and host of @TheMayLeeShow. The first Korean-American anchor for @CNN, she wants to see the media "better depict Asian women." 👩🏻♥️👂🏻#WeAreListening
We're thrilled to listen to @ilavinash, #ASCJ grad student in digital social media. "The first time I felt represented was when I saw New Girl. It features an Indian character with a complex background, with the same facets as any other woman." 👩🏻♥️👂🏻#WeAreListening @New_GirlTV
We're thrilled to listen to @ByYusra, masters student in specialized journalism. She wrote for @KCET about “the joy, the resilience, and the humanity of the Muslim community in Anaheim. I’m tired of the rhetoric of Muslim women being seen as oppressed."🧕🏻❤️👂🏻 #WeAreListening
We're thrilled to listen to @nathan_hyun, progressive degree student in journalism. “The first time I felt represented in the media was seeing fellow Asian anchors and reporters. They showed me that I can get to that place where I can feel successful.” 👨🏻❤️👂🏻#WeAreListening
We're thrilled to listen to Tim Yuge, #ASCJ equipment room manager. “At Annenberg we have a goal to see more Asian faces on the big screen. However, until we see those faces behind the camera, we haven’t arrived yet." 👨🏻❤️👂🏻#WeAreListening
We're thrilled to listen to @itmecharisma, a master's student in specialized journalism. "One of the successes I've had as a Filipino storyteller, is when I wrote for the @latimes how rock music helped fight oppressive regimes throughout Filipino history." #WeAreListening 👩🏻♥️👂🏻
We're thrilled to listen to @AnnenbergMedia photographer Michael Chow, a cinema & comm undergrad from Singapore. He is most inspired by photojournalist Wong Maye-E @mayersINsg. “What excites me as a storyteller is humbling myself to diverse perspectives.” #WeAreListening 👨🏻♥️👂🏻
We're listening to Cynthia Sugiyama, @WellsFargo SVP, #ASCJ alumna & founder of @VOICESforAAPI. "I watched the escalation in anti-Asian violence and shared my experience being targeted as a child. Stunned into silence then, years later I found my voice." 👩🏻♥️👂🏻#WeAreListening
In honor of Arab American Heritage Month, we’re listening to Adam Yehia Elrashidi @Adamaniac. "With U.S. foreign policy, it's hard to tell stories about my community without being seen as biased. But being from those communities makes your reporting richer." 👳🏾‍♀️♥️👂🏾#WeAreListening
