On this week's KollabCast we welcome Traci Lee, the editor of NBC Asian America, one of the few Asian American newsdesks among the mainstream media outlets. Traci chats with us about covering Asian Americans in the news, and finding representation in stories beyond entertainment and casting. For this week's roundtable, we talk about unnecessary casting in movies (specifically Aladdin), speaking out, and books!

This week’s intro & outro music is “Dive” from Kollaboration SF (& the Voice) alum Tim Atlas
