What is a feminist killjoy? Kari and Chuks discuss this idea coined by Sara Ahmed for this week’s episode. We start off by discussing a terrible op-ed in The Age, an Australian newspaper, that demonizes the women caught in the Hollywood nude photo privacy breach. Then, onto anonymous questions about the APIA designation in American racial politics and further commentary on the ALS ice bucket challenge.

H* #34: Being a Feminist Killjoy

HYPHENATED* is a weekly social justice podcast and the brainchild of Chuks (owning-my-truth) and Kari (unapologetically-yellow now heauxchinoise). They met through Tumblr and began talking with one another upon realizing that they were both living and working in Asia and had a mutual friend. (‘Tis a small world.) With this program, they hope to not only to bring stories from their lives, but also their perspective as children of immigrants to events in the world. Understanding their and others’ diasporic roots led them to understanding the importance of intra-People of Color solidarity. They are dedicated to learning how all of our lives and stories are connected.
