Welcome to the Conversation.
It’s a privilege to share our stories with one another.
It’s a core tenet of Conversation Piece, the podcast about the missing pieces of the conversations we’re already having. What’s that mean, though? It means we take the conversations with our guests seriously — the space and grace to share their stories the way they want to, the encouragement and affirmation to dive deeply into these conversations by sharing the pieces they may not have had the space and affirmation to share before.
We’ve covered all kinds of ground since we launched in 2022.
Reclaiming identity
Creating community
Unpacking masculinity
Adoption + Adoptee experiences
Creating art and art inclusivity
Equitable art representation
Culinary arts
Becoming an author
Navigating entrepreneurship
Asian America
and more…
There are so many things on the horizon, too.
What started as a means of individual creative ambition has evolved into a place where community is forming and conversations that go beyond the surface of our every day back-and-forth in the hopes of not just building bridges, but fostering sustainable relationships that extend well beyond YouTube or Spotify or Google or Instagram.
Because that’s where it starts: relationships.
