## Resource

What happens when you mix world-class performance art, comedic genius, academic rigor, and fierce community organizing? You get a beautiful, hilarious ruckus—and a brand-new playbook for social change. In this episode, host Ken Fong sits down with Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristina Wong and equity-driven professor Dr. Theodore "Teddy" Chao . Together with two co-authors, they have just released the ultimate cultural manual: Auntie Kristina's Guide to Asian American Activism . Tune in as we discuss how they combined humor, history, and radical "Auntie energy" to create a guide that is equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and profoundly revolutionary. www.kristinawong.com
