After 30+ years of being an Asian woman, Stephanie Chen grew tired of feeling underrepresented, unheard, and misunderstood. "There must be other women out there feeling this way," she mused. "I wish I could hear their stories. Let's make a podcast!" Ok, so maybe it wasn't that simple. Maybe it was an idea developed over years, from hundreds of conversations, with dozens of amazing women, all who felt a little lost, a little defiant, and more than a little silenced. Here are their stories.
