Our monthlong deep dive into Education is coming to a close, but not without one last inspiring conversation. Teachers. We’ve all had them, but how many Teachers or Professors of Color did you have when you were a student?  After a long pause and some mental time travel, “a few” was the answer Kaytie and I managed to muster. We want to help change that by having a conversation about the importance of having Teachers and Professors of Color in the classroom. We have a great guest on today who will be breaking down the concept of Mirrors and Windows, telling us what Justice in Education looks like, and how communities can help diversify the teachers who teach our children.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Brown Girls Stationary (@browngirlsstationery)- Stationery & School Supplies for Brown Girls https://brown-girls-stationery.myshopify.com/Kaytie- The Flour Box (@theflourboxseattle) Thoughtfully handmade donuts + baked goods.

Mirrors and Windows

S.T.E.M (aka Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) is a simple acronym that is loaded with stereotypes mainly having to do with women, and their perceived lack of abilities to excel at these subjects.  Since negative stereotyping exists about women in STEM, this has a direct impact on who chooses to pursue a career in a STEM field.  On this episode, we talk to our favorite STEMinist (and fellow podcaster) about how to slay the Patriarchy in STEM, how to make STEM careers more welcoming and inclusive for women and people of Color, and talk about how confidence is a crucial ingredient for career success.  Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- The Black Toy Store (@theblacktoystore) Online destination for hand- picked, curated children;’s toys, games, books, and gifts that reflect the beauty and diversity of the African diaspora https://blacktoystore.com/Kaytie- Wonton in a Million (@wontoninamillion) Home of the DimSum Steam Team, an adorable group of characters inspired by dimsum.  Show stationery, planner goodies, perch, and more. https://wontoninamillion.com/Keep Up With Tiffany DawsonE: tiffany@tiffanydawson.coW: www.tiffanydawson.coIG: @tiffanydawson_Links: http://www.tiffanydawson.co/linksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wonderwomeninstem/Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffany-w-dawson/Find us on Social Media:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

One year ago as the frenzy of the Pandemic was rising to an all-time high, the U.S. saw a spike in violence against Asian Americans.  We were scared for what the future held, and how bad the problem could get.  One year later a horrible tragedy occurred in Atlanta killing 8 people, 7 we of Asian descent (and 6 of the victims were women) In this episode, we take a look at what led to the violent events in Atlanta, the history of violence against AAPI in this country, and how we can keep our AAPI loved ones safe.  Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana-  BLK MKT Vintage (@blkmktvintage)- Seriously fresh Black curiosities, heirlooms, and collections https://www.blkmktvintage.com/Kaytie- ManiMe (@manime.co)- Custom fit, at home mani in minutes http://www.ManiMe.coInstagram Accounts To Check Out:@zenerations@diversifyournarrative@michellekimkim@afropuffchroniclesFind us on Social Media:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Do We Really Need To Go To College?

While getting on a plane and traveling to a far away place is out of the question for many of us these days, that doesn’t mean that we can’t travel in other ways.

Buying Black Is Not A Trend

Chinese New Year is tomorrow! Happy Year Of The Ox! And Mardi Gras is next week. These two cultural holidays will likely look different, but it doesn’t have to taste different. Quarantine is the best time to learn family recipes or improve the family staples you cherish. On today’s episode, we are talking to cookbook author, Pat Tanumihardja, all about how to keep cultural bonds alive and thriving during quarantine. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Jac- East Meets Dress (@eastmeetsdress)- A Modern  take on Wedding Cheongsams + so much more! https://eastmeetsdress.com/Alana- Box  Of Care (@boxofcarenola)- New Orleans themed care packages https://www.boxofcare.com/Keep Up With Pat:Twitter: @PicklesandTeaIG: @Pickles.and.TeaWeb: Smithsonianapa.org/PicklesandteaBuy Asian Pickles At Home:https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/asian-pickles-at-home-patricia-tanumihardja/1137085358?ean=9781647390747Buy Instant Pot Asian Pressure Cooker Meals:https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Asian-Pressure-Cooker-Meals/dp/080485257XCardamom Banana BreadIngredients:1/2 cup unsalted butter1/3 cup soft brown sugar1/3 cup granulated sugar2 eggs1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder½ teaspoon baking soda½ teaspoon fine sea salt¼ teaspoon ground cardamom1 cup mashed bananas (2 large)2 teaspoons turbinado sugar (optional) Directions:Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar are mixed together to form the brine. Add-ins like mirin, garlic, or chiles are optional. I like to make this tasty side dish with Japanese mini mushrooms like enoki or shimeji (beechmushrooms), but for this recipe, I’ve used the easier-to-find shiitake. Feel free to use any type of mushroom you can get your hands on, from button to chanterelles.1. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, water, and sugar and bring to a simmer. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely, 3 to 5 minutes.2. Transfer the mushrooms to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Let the brine cool, then pour over the mushrooms. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. These will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. TRY IT WITH: These mushrooms are a delicious and nutritious addition to noodle or rice bowls or tossed into a salad.Find us on Instagram:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Maintaining Cultural Bonds Through Food

Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff seem to be the most talked about couple on the planet right now, and there is a very good reason for that. With our Madam Vice President being a Black and South Asian woman, the visual of her White Husband stepping into the role of Second Gentleman (as well as stepping back to let Harris lead and shine) disrupts the gender roles that we are commonly used to seeing. In this episode, we talk about how important the image of an interracial couple in public office is, what gender stereotypes we are rethinking, and how we can normalize those image of power and support going forward.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Phillip Ashley Chocolates (@phillipashleychocolates)- Delicious, designer chocolate perfect for gifting!https://phillipashleychocolates.comJac- Scarlett Floral Designs (@teamscarlet)- Floral Designs and Custom Creations for you or a friend.http://www.scarletflowersdesigns.comFind us on Instagram:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Shaking Up Gender Stereotypes

Sleepovers are a rite of passage for most kids and teens, but not everyone attended sleepovers growing up. Some kids went to very few and when they did it was a *struggle* to get parents to agree to let them go, and some kids got to stay late (but not sleepover). In the episode, we are talking about slumber parties. Is not allowing your child to attend sleepovers an Asian thing? Are attending sleepovers necessary? Are sleepovers good for kids? We answer these questions and so many more.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Jac- Kim + Ono (@kimandono_)- Handcrafted Kimono Robes of the Modern (Wo)men https://kimandono.com/Alana- Dreams and Jammies (@dreamsjammies)- Kids sleepwear line inspired by little Black and Brown girls https://dreamsandjammies.com/Find us on Instagram:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.
