“You Deserve to Be Safe”: Nicole Chung on Parenting in a Wave of Anti-AAPI Violence

UNDISTRACTED with Brittany Packnett Cunningham

Crimes against AAPI women are in the headlines—and for parents like writer Nicole Chung, the challenges of how to talk to kids about racism, violence and safety are very real. In this episode, host Brittany Packnett Cunningham sits down with Chung, the author of All You Can Ever Know and a contributing writer at The Atlantic, for a thoughtful discussion that starts there—and roams into transracial adoption, surviving the “colorblind” era, and why her phone starts ringing when things are at their worst. Plus, Brittany brings you the latest UNtrending News, and a remembrance of her friend Cora Faith Walker.
